A plain circular charge.
Also known as: Heraldic roundel, Circular charge heraldic
In heraldry a roundel is a plain circular charge, and unusually its tincture is carried by its name rather than stated separately in the blazon.
Has a distinct name for each tincture — bezant, torteau, hurt, pellet and others — so a roundel's colour is named rather than described.
