Definition:

July 1993 LoAR - cartouche pointed or mandorla

Meridies, Kingdom of. Badge. (fieldless) On a cartouche argent a mullet gules... "As a side note: the cartouche was drawn in this submission with pointed ends, not the rounded ends normal for the charge. We've registered this variant form in the past, usually blazoned a cartouche with pointed ends; the technical term for the shape is mandorla, or amygdaline aureole. (Metford's Dictionary of Christian Lore and Legend)" https://heraldry.sca.org/loar/1993/07/lar.html
