This device is returned for violation of SENA A3D2e, Unity of Arrangement, which states “Charges within a charge group should be in an arrangement that can be blazoned with a single arrangement phrase”. The arrangement of the bears must be blazoned separately from the arrangement of the primary charge group as a whole, as the blazon Per fess sable and azure, in pale a sun Or eclipsed sable and four bears passant argent implies that the five primary charges are evenly distributed across the field, rather than the bears being solely on the azure portion of the field.
