		More formally, a shield on a shield is termed an inescutcheon and it is stated by strict theorists that if more than one appears on the shield they are referred to as escutcheons, though this is not often adhered to.
		When an inescutcheon appears on a shield it should conform to the shape of the shield on which it is placed.
		It is a square in the right corner of the shield (or the left to the observer) that theoretically occupies 1/4 the shield’s surface area, though it is usually slightly smaller than this.

	Abatements and Augmentations of Honor
		Instead, English augmentations could be cantons, piles, inescutcheons, or flaunches, usually charged with the royal arms, or, in one case when an inescutcheon was used, a coat of arms derived from the royal arms: quarterly 1 and 4 azure a fleur de lys or, 2 and 3, gules a lion passant regardant or.
		This was a use for the canton (or quarter) or the inescutcheon, because this new coat of arms had to be integrated in a fitting manner with the original coat.
		An example of an inescutcheon is the so-called "Flodden augmentation" granted to Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey: Gules on a bend between six crosses crosslet argent an inescutcheon Or charged with a demi-lion vulned with an arrow within a double tressure flory-counterflory gules, which is also an example of metal on metal armory.
