COA Cardinal Jaime Of Portugal (Portugal) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases a striking heraldic design, a Coat of Arms (CoA) that encapsulates the noble lineage and ecclesiastical rank of Cardinal Jaime of Portugal. The artwork is centered on a shield, which is the core of the design and principal visual element.
The Quartered Shield
The shield is quartered, meaning it is divided into four distinct sections. This heraldic technique, common for royalty and high nobility, symbolizes the merging of different inheritances and lineages. The design cleverly integrates elements from both sides of the Cardinal's heritage.
- 1st and 4th Quarters: These sections represent the arms of his father, Infante Pedro, Duke of Coimbra, a member of the Portuguese royal House of Aviz. This inclusion signifies his Portuguese royal heritage.
- 2nd and 3rd Quarters: These sections display the arms of Aragon, reflecting the heritage of his mother, Isabella of Urgel. This choice acknowledges his dynastic ties and Aragonese ancestry.
Ecclesiastical Embellishments
As a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, the design prominently features the symbols of his ecclesiastical rank. The most notable element is the red galero, or cardinal's hat. This hat is adorned with fifteen red tassels on each side, a standard feature in cardinal heraldry, indicating his high position within the Church.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design as a whole signifies Cardinal Jaime's dual identity – his noble birth and his religious office. The quartered shield eloquently narrates his rich family history, blending Portuguese royal roots with Aragonese influence. The inclusion of the cardinal's hat further underscores his commitment to his faith and his place within the Catholic Church, creating a design that is both historically significant and visually powerful.
