Jump to navigation Jump to search

Aschari crests or puncake (ꦥꦸꦤꦕꦁꦏꦼ) in Aschari or adthochan (អឌ្ឍចន្ទ) in Preimeai, are traditional emblems used to decorate and identify individuals, families, clans, and more recently businesses. The most famous example of an Aschari Crest is the Adthochant Meas the symbol of Prei Meas. There is no authoritative source listing every type of Aschari Crest as the rules for creation allow for so many to be made.

The Aschari Crests are similar in function to badges and Heraldic tradition.
