Wavy refers to those bars (and often the fess itself) being drawn in a wavy line. Gules means the fess and its cottises are red. Three crescents Or means three gold crescents placed on the fess. A canton Azure is a small square in the upper left of the shield, coloured blue.

This is the coat of arms of the Dods of Highfields.
