A right arm, nude, embowed, couped at shoulder, holding a pair of scales; all proper. A dexter arm embowed in armour or, holding a sword pointed to the right. Askham's arms were a chevron between three dolphins embowed. The chevron "in point embowed" recalls the Battle of the Bulge, the Ardennes-Alsace campaign. The arm embowed is raised in the attitude of striking. A line "embowed" consists of a single arch.
