Depiction
The depiction of the heraldic eagle is subject to a great range of variation in style. The pictures below all show Argent, an eagle sable armed and langued gules, that is, a black eagle with red claws, beak and tongue, on a white field, in styles typical of German heraldry (in Gallo-British heraldry the outermost feathers are typically longer and point upward).
An eagle can appear either single- or double-headed. On at least one occasion a three-headed eagle is seen. Additionally, Reinmar von Zweter fashioned the wing bones of his eagle into a second and third head.
