Variation of The Field - Pappellony

A field pappellony shows an overlay of a pattern like the wings of a butterfly, though this is accounted a fur. (The number of rows of pappellony are sometimes defined, such as the seven of the Aleberici Family of Bologna.) The shield of Chateaubriand shows an instance of the pappellony of the ancient arms being transformed into seme-de-lys in the new coat. The Italian term squamoso and the French écaillé, meaning 'scaly', are also similar.
