Bruce Arms, Baron Aberdare (Scotland) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the distinguished heraldry of Henry Austin Bruce, 1st Baron Aberdare. The artwork prominently features the Bruce family's Coat of Arms, a powerful symbol of lineage and historical significance.
The Shield (Arms)
At the heart of the design lies the shield, meticulously rendered with its iconic elements. The field is colored Or (gold/yellow), providing a noble foundation for the central emblem: a gules saltire, a vibrant red diagonal cross. Above this, a chief gules (red upper section) displays a martlet of the field (a gold/yellow mythical bird), signifying a branch of the family without a distinct surname.
This composition signifies the family's noble heritage and direct connection to the Bruce lineage, a prominent family in Scottish history.
Crest and Supporters
Above the shield, the Crest is displayed: a cubit arm in armor in bend grasping a scepter proper. This element conveys strength and authority.
Flanking the shield are the Supporters: Two lions, each collared, with an escutcheon of the arms of Knight on the dexter and of Bruce on the sinister. This composition emphasizes the family's strength, heritage and ancestral connections.
Mottoes
Above the crest, the motto "Fuimus" (We have been) is included, reinforcing the family's long-standing legacy. Below the arms, the Welsh motto "Ofner na ofne angau" (Fear not, fear not death) is displayed, further highlighting the family's Welsh heritage.
The overall design is a visual tapestry, weaving together symbols of noble birth, ancestral connections, and enduring strength, offering a striking representation of the Baron Aberdare's heraldic legacy.
