Talk:Moor's head

Request for translation from the German page[edit]

I'd like to request that somebody fluent in German contribute to this page with translations from the German version of this page, de:Mohr (Heraldik), as it has much more information and details various uses from different people. The current English page is very lackluster, as it only details the Corsican and Sardinian versions, and the German page is a good page to model it after.

Aragon[edit]

Are the Moor-heads in a quarter of the flag of Aragon also called Maures? --Error 00:14, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Blackamoors[edit]

I know this is not for advertising, but I want to include pictures of jewelry and decorative sculptures. Any advise? Also 99% of the Blackamoors I've seen in jewelry and other antiques have a turban, distinguishing it from Maures.

I have now added a section about blackamoors, and will add pictures when I have the time.

Crusader Heraldry[edit]

They were sometimes used in crusader heraldry as a symbol of battles or campaigns against the moors or turks. Similar to the WWI & WWII practice of marking kills on an airplane with "rising suns" and swastikas. Castravalva (talk) 12:00, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So far poorly researched[edit]

So far the article deals only with the Sardinian / Corsican tradition. A short look into the German entry shows a multitude of examples -also older ones- and types: black kings, queens, bishops amon the otherwise unsecified black heads. There must alo be examples in english heraldry So far the entry has nothing about traditions , like St. Maurice, African Christian martyrs, crusades etc. 91.98.113.164 (talk) 12:25, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
