Mullet (Heraldry)

In heraldry the term mullet or molet refers to a charge or a difference in the conventional shape of a star - by default one with five points (compare pentagram). Variants include the mullet of six points (compare star of David) and the mullet of eight points (compare octagram). Under the English cadency system third sons bear the mullet as a difference. The mullet is called a star in Scottish heraldry. It is to be distinguished from the wavy-rayed estoile. A mullet is also a type of haircut.
