Blason de la Famille Bardos du Labourd Hoodie - Design Details
This hoodie features a striking and historically significant heraldic design, the coat of arms (blason) of the Bardos family of Labourd, a historical Basque province located in what is now the French Basque Country. The artwork showcases the family's distinguished lineage and history.
The Heraldic Design: A Visual Representation
The central element of the design is the shield (écu), rendered in a distinctive lozengy pattern. This pattern, described heraldically as "Losangé d'or et d'azur," is a checkerboard of lozenges (diamond shapes) that alternate between gold (or) and blue (azur). The gold color represents nobility, generosity, and elevation of the mind, while the blue often signifies truth, loyalty, and strength.
Meaning and Symbolism
The specific losangé pattern, reminiscent of a checkerboard, does not possess a fixed symbolism by itself. However, the presence of these particular colors, gold and blue, within the established heraldic tradition, implies qualities of honor, fidelity, and a noble character associated with the Bardos family. The coat of arms, as a whole, serves as a visual identifier, a symbol of heritage, and a testament to the family's historical roots within the Labourd region of the Basque Country.
