A charge of disputed identity, drawn as ranked pipes.
Also known as: Rest heraldic charge, Sufflue charge, Claricord charge

Is drawn as a set of ranked pipes rising from a curved base.
Contexts: History
Has never been identified with certainty: a musical instrument, a lance rest and an organ have all been proposed, and heraldic authorities do not agree.
The charge's origin is genuinely unresolved. Sources offer several incompatible identifications and none has become standard; this record states the disagreement rather than selecting one.
Contexts: History
A ranked set of short pipes rising from a curved base, drawn with a projecting arm at one side.
