That's certainly my recollection, but I've not made an effort to
memorize it, alas.  (Visual memorization is SO not my forte.)

<http://www.freewebs.com/bearpit/index.htm> appears to have part of
such a depiction in the lower picture (to the left of "Welcome to The
Bear Pit ...")

I don't recall right now whether they display the charges as arranged
two-and-one, or two primary bears + a laurel wreath in base.  The
small depiction at, of all places, <http://www.elfsea.org/links.htm>,
shows them in-between but closer to two-and-one.

CCing the Ansteorran Heralds' list.
