But a chevron cotised is a chevron flanked by two narrow chevrons with the tincture of the field showing through in between, like this:



If your chevron is in fact blazoned as cotised, then there must be something to indicate that the space between the chevron and the cotises is gold instead of ermine. It's a very attractive design, but I can't think of a way to blazon this treatment of the chevron, where the space is not the same tincture as the field, without getting horribly convoluted. I'm curious to know what the SABH came up with.
