I have come across something that I wonder how it would be blazoned.  It is a bastion fortification. Something like this perhaps?

a pentagon, fortified with bastions, a point to chief, Or.

 

Any thoughts?

No time to check now, but I suspect you might find an example or two on the TIOH (US Army’s Intitute of Heraldry) website, with hopefully a useful blazon to draw from.

TIOH blazons this, in the arms of the 16th Infantry Regiment, as "a five-bastioned fort."

Same in the arms of the 70th Regt, Maryland Army National Guard)

Other arms by TIOH include more of these as well as four- and six-bastioned forts.

Why didn’t I think of checking there.  I was just looking at it the other night and when I asked the question, I didn’t even think about it.  But thank you for suggesting it and also to Mr. McMillan for posting a few examples. :D

"fortune cookie?"

Hmmm…I doubt that even TIOH can supply an image for that one…
