The MacCarthy (or McCarthy, McCarty, etc.), coat of arms, at it's most basic, is the red stag "trippant" (stepping), on a shield of metal grey. Over the centuries, different branches (families) of the Clan MacCarthy have embellished or added to this basic design to personalize it. The most simple addition to a coat of arms is a crest above them, which signified a particular family within the clan. For example, one branch of the family had a crest consisting of an armored hand holding a newt.
