HeadVariants: Head
Heads of Men and Women, Beasts, Birds, Fish, etc., are of frequent occurrence in Coat Armour. They are in profile (termed side long, or side faced), front faced, i.e. affrontée, or guardant, and reguardant, which is looking back. In blazon, all heads are understood to be in profile, if not expressed to the contrary.
