Help with Morrison Crest
I volunteered my wife and myself to make a standard for Clan Morrison. I looked at other standards at the recent local games and most include the crest. I have found the crest rendered in various colors on the internet and I would like to use the correct colors. Here is a description of the crest taken from the Clan Morrison website.
…and on a Wreath of Liveries is set for crest issuant from waves of the sea Azure [blue] crested Argent [white] a Mount Vert [green], thereon an embattled wall Azure [blue], maisoned Argent [white], and issuing therefrom a cubit arm naked proper [natural], the hand grasping a dagger hilt Or [gold], and in Escrol over the same this Motto TEAGHLACH PHABBAY.
My questions are:
What color(s) is the wreath of Liveries? It is rendered many ways on the internet. I assume the liveries are in the first part of the description of the arms but I am not familiar enough with heraldry to interpret which part is the livery. The full description is here http://cmsna.x10hosting.com/public_html/chief.htm
Should the blue waves and the green mount be completely separated by the white wave crests?
Does embattled wall mean it has a battlement or it is under attack?
Does maisoned Argent mean the grout in the wall is white? Most I have seen are black.
The dagger hilt is gold. Is the dagger natural (silver)?
Should the strap be a particular color? I was thinking of using black with gold piping. The tartan will be Morrison Red ancient.
Thank you in advance for any help you might provide.
