In heraldry, the charge of a mermaid is commonly represented with a
comb and a mirror, and blazoned as a 'mermaid in her vanity'. Merfolk
were used to symbolize eloquence in speech.[citation needed] (from
Wikipedia).

It is my understanding from discussions with my artist friend, that a
golden comb and mirror are the traditional accoutrements of the
mermaid. Why coral, though? Could it have to do with color of the
Mediterranean in its shallows, e.g. around and about Malta?
