Heraldry: Musing on an esoteric topic

David B. Appleton stands out for his continuous analysis of all types of heraldic manifestations, which he finds everywhere, in the world we live in: from those we have inherited from ancient times to the fiercely current, from books to cinema, from fashionable clothing to urban furniture, from east to west and north to south, including those that appear in logos and emblems, those using traditional techniques and those created or disseminated through new technologies, on ships, sports cars, and airplanes, on porcelain, facades, and stained glass, on television, on t-shirts and coins, in auctions and universities, in comics and sports, etc. with a systematic publication rhythm, more than 2 posts per week, nothing heraldic escapes the record and genuine analysis of David B. Appleton on Blog.AppletonStudios.com, which I highly recommend.

David B. Appleton, slipped and leaved

AppletonD 23 Manzana Tallada Hojada jpg

Slipped and leaved

The terms slipped and leaved, which are applied here to the apples, can be found in [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 321 and figure 138] when describing the coat of arms of the «Kingdom of Granada in Spain», which states «Argent, a pomegranate proper, showing its seeds Gules, supported, slipped, and leaved with two leaves Vert».

slipped and leaved, being in the blazon of Granada, are also in the blazon of the coat of arms of Spain and its kings. We read this in [Avilés, J.; 1780b; page 321 and figure 138] where he writes «...Quarterly with a point Argent, a pomegranate proper, showing its seeds Gules, stemmed, and leaved with two leaves Vert, which is of Granada».
