Per pale embattled Or and vert an eye irised vert, sclera gules
Returned by Laurel in the October 2011 LoAR:
This device is returned because the argent eye does not have
good contrast with the Or portion of the field on which it lies.
Per precedent:
We hereby rule that that there is no proper tincture for eyes. We
will no longer worry about tiny details such as the eyelashes (if
present) or the pupil: those are considered unblazoned artistic details. The tinctures of the sclera (the
"white" of the eye) and the iris may be specified in blazon; contrast against the field will be judged by the
sclera's tincture. [Nov 2007 LoAR Cover Letter] http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2011/10/11-10lar.html
