A martlet is a mythical bird, resembling a swallow or swift, depicted without feet, symbolizing perpetual flight, ceaseless effort and tireless endevour.

The greyhound in an armorial(or levriere in historical terms) is a significant and elegant charge representing faithfulness, vigilance, disciplined energy, and noble character.
