Other terms are used to describe the lion's position in further detail. Each coat of arms has a right and left (i.e. "dexter" and "sinister") side - "with respect to the person carrying the shield" - so the left side of the shield as drawn on the page (thus the right side to the shield bearer) is called the dexter side. The lion's head is normally seen in agreement with the overall position, facing dexter (left) unless otherwise stated. If a lion's "whole body" is turned to face right, he is "to sinister" or "contourné". If his "whole body" faces the viewer, he is "affronté". If his "head only" faces the viewer he is "guardant" or "gardant", and if he looks back over his shoulder he is "regardant". These adjectives follow any other adjectives of position.
