The earliest heart-shaped charges in heraldry appear in the 12th century; the hearts in the coat of arms of Denmark go back to the royal banner of the kings of Denmark, in turn based on a seal used as early as the 1190s. However, while the charges are clearly heart-shaped, they did not depict hearts in origin, or symbolize any idea related to love. Instead, they are assumed to have depicted the leaves of the water-lily. Early heraldic heart-shaped charges depicting the leaves of water-lilies are found in various other designs related to territories close to rivers or a coastline (e.g. Flags of Frisia). Four hearts put together in the shape of a glover, cross or a star. It is a ceiling lighting fixture projecting light down from above. Usually produced in formed glass but could be done in plastic. Hexagon with a shape of a shield. A flower or a star. The North Star depicts a beacon of inspiration and hope to many. Not necessarily in the formation of the five corner perfect star but resembling more NATO flag.
