sables
Dark fur weasels
Sables are small carnivorous mammals prized for their exceptionally soft, dark fur.
The fur itself is also called sable, historically among the most valuable in the world: a sable coat, sable trim on a collar.
In heraldry, sable means black.
The plural often appears in poetic or archaic contexts for dark garments or mourning dress.
