Blason Fr Famille Barrandegui Labourd (Spain) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the distinguished coat of arms of the Barrandegui family, hailing from the Labourd region of the Basque Country (historically, in France; now integrated into the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, but with strong ties to Spain due to its Basque heritage).
Visual Elements and Symbolism
The central element of the design is the heraldic shield, described as "D'or au lion rampant de gueules, couronné d'argent." This translates visually to a golden (yellow) background. Upon this field of gold, a vibrant red (gueules) lion is depicted "rampant" – standing on its hind legs in a pose of strength and readiness. The lion is crowned with a silver (white) crown.
The symbolism is rich. The lion, a classic heraldic symbol, represents courage, strength, and royalty. Its rampant pose further emphasizes its power. The red color, often associated with valor and sacrifice, highlights these traits. The golden background signifies generosity and elevation, and the silver crown alludes to honor and nobility.
The precise details of the lion's posture and the crown's design are based on the original heraldic description and historical context, drawn from the Armorial du Pays basque by Hubert Lamant-Duhart, solidifying the design's historical accuracy and connection to the Barrandegui family's heritage.
