Blason département fr Pas-de-Calais (France) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt proudly displays the heraldic emblem of the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France, a striking design rich in history and symbolism.
The Shield: A Division of Heritage
The central element of the design is the shield, meticulously divided into two distinct halves. The upper section boldly presents a golden (or) lion rampant on a vibrant red (gules) background. This majestic lion is a direct reference to the historical region of Artois, a crucial part of the Pas-de-Calais's heritage and a nod to its noble past.
The lower half of the shield presents a contrasting but equally significant image: three red (gules) towers set against a golden (or) field. These imposing towers represent Boulogne-sur-Mer, a strategically important port city within the department. The inclusion of the towers commemorates the city's historical significance and its prominent castle.
Flanked by Guardians: The Supporters
The shield is typically supported by two heraldic lions, further emphasizing the department’s connection to its past and showcasing the strength and pride of the Pas-de-Calais region.
Symbolism Woven in Color
The design’s color palette is essential to its meaning. The golden hues (or) signify nobility and honor, while the red (gules) represents courage and valor. Together, these colors and the depicted elements encapsulate the historical identity and strategic importance of the Pas-de-Calais, celebrating its heritage with dignity and artistic precision.
