TheHinckaert knot, a type of decorativeunknot, is aheraldic knot used primarily in Dutch heraldry. It is most notable for its appearance on the Hinckaert familyheraldic badge, where a semi-angular form is used ascanting arms, a common practice with heraldic badges.
The name "Hinckaert" is delineated as a derivation ofhincken, "to limp", in the badge. Hence the center crutch, and the buckle on the knot, implying that it is a strap used to attach the crutch to the leg.[1] The dexter "P" and sinister "G" are traditionally translated as standing for Philip (Hinckaert), with whom the knot originated, and his wife,née Gasparine.[1]
