Yes, it's called a baton, and in English heraldry is a mark of bastardy. In SCA heraldry, however, it has no such connotations.

Heraldic questions of the day:
Can you have a bend couped?
For instance:
Azure a bend couped Or charged with a compass star sable
So that would be a blue field with a gold bend only 1/2 way across the field
charged with a black compass star.
Also, IF you can do that with a bend does it matter where on the field it
issues from? (closer to the top or bottom than the middle for instance)
Am I just in need of more tea and someone can point me to pictures or text
to answer my questions? Is the world really flat? (HA HA)
