Italian term or phrase: scudo ogivale centinato
Can anyone help me with the correct English translation of "scudo ogivale centinato" found in the description of the coat of arms of Pope Paul II (https://www.papalartifacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Co... "Il suo stemma è composto da un leone entro uno scudo ogivale centinato". No other context I'm afraid. Thanks in advance.

neutral  philgoddard: I don't see why you've disagreed with "ogival" and then used it yourself, or why you've ignored "centinato".

  -> Thank you, maybe you are right. However, I found 'centina' to be centre.
agree  philgoddard: But you can't say "ogival shaped" - it's a tautology.
