A Maunche (alternately spelled manche is an unusual charge used in heraldry. Resembling a highly stylized letter M, the maunche is actually meant to portray a billowing lady's sleeve, seperated from her dress at the shoulder.
Depiction of a maunche in an achievement of arms can vary widely, from a simple representation of a sleeve to highly baroque swirls and ribbons.
