Estencely is not a field treatment either:
Fran{c,}ois la Flamme. Device change. Vert estencely Or.
This does not conflict with Libya, "Vert", by rule X.1, Addition
of Primary Charges. Strewn charges are primary if there are no
other charges. This has been true for a number of years; for
example, see the September 1992 LoAR, pp. 39-40, s.n. Jon of the
Mists. Please instruct the submitter to draw more and larger
sparks.
His current device, Vert estencely, a flame Or, becomes a badge.
"Escutcheony" is certainly not a field treatment.

I would argue that field-primary armory is simpler, having no charges
at all. Field-primary doesn't mean "simple tinctured".
