The coat of arms traditionally attributed to Satan in European heraldry. Blazoned "Gules, a fess Or between three frogs proper" (or with effectively equivalent blazons, such as "Gules, a fess Or between three frogs Vert", "Gules, a fess Gold between three frogs proper", etc.).
In the book The Heraldic Imagination by Rodney Dennys (1975), this is traced back to the late 13th-century Douce Apocalypse manuscript, in an illustration to Revelations 20:7-10. The design is based on the "three unclean spirits like frogs" of verse 16:13.
The Douce Apocalypse illustration (with the coat of arms shown in both banner and shield forms) is reproduced on p. 85 of "Heraldry: An Introduction to a Noble Tradition" by Michel Pastoureau (1997, ISBN0-8109-2830-2).
This coat of arms was created with an unknown SVG tool.
