[ANSTHRLD] Help please - please confirm the verbiage of the blazon

[Luciana Caterina di Borgese]

Thank you. I would like to be able to put the blazon on the form that would
make it all the way through Laurel untouched. I will achieve this at some
point. Right now, you and Lord Robin have helped me in solidifying an
emblazon that can be conflict checked, and will not prove to be too
embarassing (or confusing) once it is presented for submission (pending the
rest of the conflict check, of course)

Thank you again,
Luciana
