The ball-flower is a decorative detail in stone masonry that came to Britain with the Normans. Ball-flowers are unique; no two are identical. They were carved largely freehand, often quite crudely, and so are as individual as the mason's own handwriting. Though based on a standard pattern of three petals surronding a central ball, some rogue four-petalled examples occur. Hereford Cathedral is famous for its tower decorated with thousands of carved stone ball-flowers, having probably the largest number of them to be found on one building anywhere in the world.  3, record 2, English, - ball%2Dflower

As used by arms engravers, the word ENGRAVE means the cutting of a design or motif into metal with a chisel or graver. It is not used to describe the decoration of non-metal objects such as wood, ivory, stone, or horn. These materials are carved, scrimshawed, or sculpted. Firearms and edge weapons decorated with mass production methods such as roll stamping, acid etching, or photo etching are often incorrectly referred to as "engraved". In some cases, this is due to a lack of knowledge, but sometimes it is a deliberate attempt to deceive the potential purchaser. The Jeff Flannery Engraving Company uses only chisel or graver on any work we represent as engraving.  1, record 3, English, - engrave
