Cabossed

Cabossed

In heraldry, cabossed, or caboched, is a term used where the head of a beast is cut off behind the ears, by a section parallel to the face; or by a perpendicular section: in contrast to couping, which is done by a horizontal line, and farther from the ears than cabossing. [Chambers, Ephraim, 1680 (ca.)-1740.
