Die Hausbücher - English index of the Nuremberg "Twelve Brothers' Books" with depictions of professions with their tools starting in the 1400s until the early 1800s. The "Twelve Brothers" were 12 needy old Nuremberg craftsmen who were charitably housed in institutions sponsored by wealthy merchants. When a new brother was admitted, an appropriate new illustration was added for him, thus later pages are out-of-SCA period.

Parker's Heraldry:

• Angles: this bearing seems intended to represent the hook or fastening of a waistband (the arms of Wastley being allusive), and for this purpose the rings are attached; possibly for the same purpose, namely, that it might serve as a dress fastening, rings were attached to the Cross annuletty. This charge might be described also as two chevrons interlaced and couped.
  • Azure, three pairs of Angles interlaced fesswise; at each end an annulet azure–WASTLEY.
