Arms of Somerville‑MacAlister of Loup & Kennox: A Heraldic Display
This t-shirt showcases a design derived from the combined heraldry of the Somerville and MacAlister families, reflecting a heritage interwoven through marriage. The artwork is a faithful representation of the Somerville‑MacAlister of Loup & Kennox arms, a quartered shield presenting a rich tapestry of symbolic elements.
The Shield: A Quartered Story
The design opens with a shield divided into four distinct quarters, each telling a piece of the family's story:
- First Quarter: A silver (Argent) field, emblazoned with a red (Gules) lion rampant. The lion, a classic symbol of courage, strength, and royalty, speaks to Somerville ancestry.
- Second Quarter: Set against a gold (Or) backdrop, an armored arm (arm in armor) reaches horizontally, holding a red (Gules) cross crosslet fitché. This likely refers to a specific deed or connection tied to the Somerville lineage.
- Third Quarter: This quarter features a green (Vert) field with a silver (Argent) fish radiant in fess (horizontally). The fish is likely a canting arm representing a family member’s trade or place of origin.
- Fourth Quarter: A silver (Argent) field presents a gold (Or) lymphad (an ancient galley / ship) with sails furled, oars in action, depicted in black (Sable). This symbolizes seafaring traditions or maritime connections.
A Heritage of Bravery
The overall composition is a powerful visual statement, blending the heraldic symbols to celebrate the Somerville and MacAlister union and heritage.
