View source for Fountain

A '''Fountain''' is a [[period]] [[heraldic]] device consisting of a circle, internally divided [[barry]] [[wavy]] [[azure]] and [[argent]].  The argent is always depicted as white, not silver.

It represents the pool often found over a natural [[spring]].

Modern heraldry sometimes depicts artificial fountains, but period heraldry did not.
