This distinctive emblem is the official crest badge of Clan Maule, a historic Scottish family with roots tracing back to Norman France. As a Scottish crest badge, it is designed with a specific heraldic structure: the central figure is the chief’s personal crest, encircled by a traditional strap and buckle. The inclusion of the buckle on the left, an ancient symbol of allegiance, identifies this as an emblem worn by clan members to show their loyalty and kinship to the Chief of Maule.

The central figure is a fierce, fire-breathing wyvern (a two-legged dragon with wings and a barbed tail), standing upon a torse, a twisted wreath. In heraldry, the wyvern is a potent symbol of strength, ferocity, and the protection of the clan's domain. It represents a powerful force that will defend its people with fire and fury.

The latin motto, inscribed on the upper banner, reads "Inest clementia forti." This phrase translates to "Mercy is inherent in the brave" or "Compassion is a property of the strong." This motto balances the formidable nature of the wyvern, defining the ideal character of a Clan Maule leader as one who possesses not only great courage and power, but also the wisdom and magnanimity to show mercy.
