  Escutcheon \Es*cutch"eon\, n. [OF. escusson, F. ['e]cusson, from
     OF. escu shield, F. ['e]cu. See {Esquire}, {Scutcheon}.]
     1. (Her.) The surface, usually a shield, upon which bearings
        are marshaled and displayed. The surface of the escutcheon
        is called the field, the upper part is called the chief,
        and the lower part the base (see {Chiff}, and {Field}.).

        the knight who bears the shield on his arm is called
        dexter, and the other side sinister.
  
     Note: The two sides of an escutcheon are respectively
           designated as dexter and sinister, as in the cut, and
