Coat of Arms of Kazan 1859 (Russia) Hoodie - Design
Emblazoned on this hoodie is the distinguished Coat of Arms of Kazan, as officially sanctioned in 1859 during the Russian Empire. The artwork vividly recreates the heraldic masterpiece, bringing a piece of Kazan's rich history to life.
The Central Figure: The Zilant
The centerpiece of the design is the Zilant, a formidable black dragon. Its silhouette is striking, with crimson wings spread wide and a flickering red tongue. The dragon's talons and beak are rendered in glistening gold, adding contrast and highlighting the creature's powerful presence. The Zilant is crowned with a radiant golden coronet, signifying its importance as a symbol of the city.
Symbolism and Meaning
The Zilant is a legendary creature, a winged serpent or basilisk, deeply rooted in Kazan's history since the 16th century. It embodies the spirit and identity of the city. Encircling the central image are two golden sheaves of wheat, bound together by a flowing blue ribbon. These sheaves represent agriculture and the city's prosperity, further enriching the visual narrative.
Overall Composition
The design adheres to the principles of classical heraldry, presenting a clear and impactful visual statement. The dragon is set against a silver (or white) shield, providing a strong backdrop that emphasizes the Zilant's bold form. The golden accents, combined with the contrasting colors, create a visually arresting design that will garner attention.
