Coat of Arms of Peter Carington, 6th Baron Carrington - Design
This t-shirt showcases the elaborate heraldic achievement of Peter Carington, 6th Baron Carrington, a design steeped in history and symbolism.
The Shield (Arms)
At the heart of the design lies the shield, a golden expanse emblazoned with a black chevron, edged with narrow black lines. Above and below the chevron, three black demi-griffins are present. The top two face towards each other.
The Crest
Surmounting the shield is the crest: an elephant’s head, cleanly "erased" or cut off at the neck, rendered in gold. The elephant’s ears are colored red, and its neck bears three blue fleurs-de-lis, arranged in a pattern of two above one.
The Supporters
On either side of the shield stand black griffins with golden beaks and limbs. The griffin on the viewer's right (dexter) is charged with three vertical golden fleurs-de-lis, while the griffin on the left (sinister) bears three vertical golden trefoils.
Additional Elements
A mantling in gold and black, echoing the shield's colors, drapes around the design. The achievement would also incorporate a baron’s coronet.
The Motto
Beneath the arms, the motto "TENAX ET FIDELIS" – Latin for "Tenacious and Faithful" – is displayed, encapsulating the family's values.
