House mark

A house mark was originally a mark of property, later also used as a family or clan emblem, incised on the facade of a building, on animals, in signet and similar in the farmer and burgher culture of Germany and Scandinavia. These marks have the appearance of glyphs or runes consisting of a pattern of simple lines, without the application of colour.
