Arcozelo - Barcelos (Portugal) Coat of Arms T-Shirt
This t-shirt features the official coat of arms of Arcozelo, a parish in Barcelos, Portugal. The design is a vibrant representation of the village's identity and history, rendered in a striking heraldic style.
The Shield: A Visual Story
The central element of the design is a blue (azure) shield. Dominating the shield is a golden (Or) stone arch, meticulously detailed with black (Sable) masonry. This arch is a direct reference to the parish's name, "Arcozelo," as "arco" means "arch" in Portuguese, creating a visual pun.
Upper Elements: Symbols of History
The upper portion of the shield (the chief) is adorned with two significant symbols. On the left side (dexter) is a silver/white (Argent) Maltese cross, representing the historical presence of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem (Order of Malta) in the region, a testament to their past influence in Arcozelo. On the right side (sinister) is a silver/white (Argent) trident, potentially symbolizing the parish's connection to maritime activities, local fishing, or a body of water.
The Crown and Inscription
Above the shield sits a silver (Argent) mural crown, a stylized crown with three visible towers. This is a standard heraldic symbol in Portuguese civic heraldry, denoting the status of Arcozelo as a village (freguesia), not a city.
Beneath the shield, a white scroll (listel) displays the inscription "ARCOZELO – BARCELOS" in bold, uppercase black letters, clearly identifying the parish within the Barcelos municipality.
The overall design is a rich tapestry of symbolism, elegantly capturing the historical roots and local identity of Arcozelo.
