Barry Pily

A field divided into an equal number of pieces in the form of  piles placed horizontally across the shield. If the division is an odd number, as for instance seven, it would then be more properly blazoned three piles barways, that number appearing to issue from the dexter or sinister side, though some heralds would then term it barry-pily of seven.

Barry-pily of six might also be called pily of six pieces traverse. It is by some termed per pale indented traverse the escutcheon, and also per pale indented, point in point.

This bearing has also curiously been termed bendy barried by Berry.
