estoile

In Scottish armory they have the estoile, the star, and the mullet or the spur-revel.

As to the estoile, of course, their practice is similar to the English.

The original star contained sixteen points, which we may consider to indicate, appropriately, the words Estoile de Bethlem.

When the rays are wavy the charge is termed an estoile, but when they are straight the term mullet is used.

An estoile of sixteen rays is used by the town of Ilchester, but the arms are not of any authority.
