Often used to describe an inanimate charge oriented the opposite of its default orientation along a horizontal axis; e.g., a sword fesswise reversed// is //a sword fesswise point to sinister//; //an arrow fesswise reversed// is //an arrow fesswise, point to dexter//. (Non-SCA blazon uses reversed to describe what SCA blazon terms inverted; i.e., a charge turned upside down along the vertical axis of the shield.) //See// //also Contourny.
