From Pathfinder Wiki
The surface of the shield (or escutcheon) is the field. This is divided into chief and base (top and bottom), sinister and dexter (left and right), are described from the viewpoint of the bearer standing behind the shield. Combinations of these terms, together with pale (the centre vertical third) and fess (the centre horizontal third), create a grid of nine points to locate the charges, or designs, placed upon the shield.
