Coat of Arms of Sandwich Town Council (England) T-Shirt: Design Description
This T-shirt showcases the historic coat of arms of Sandwich Town Council, a striking heraldic design steeped in centuries of history and symbolism.
Design Elements
The design is dominated by a shield, the central element of the coat of arms. It is divided vertically, creating two distinct halves: a vibrant red field on the left and a deep blue field on the right. Arranged vertically across this divided field are three unique figures. Each is a composite: a gold (Or) demi-lion, the front half of a walking lion facing the viewer, joined with the silver (Argent) stern of a demi-ship.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design is rich with meaning, reflecting Sandwich's significant history. The three gold demi-lions pay homage to the historic Royal Arms of England, representing the town's loyalty to the Crown. The inclusion of the ship sterns speaks to Sandwich’s role as a Cinque Port, a vital maritime town responsible for providing ships for royal service. This combination, a medieval heraldic technique known as “dimidiation,” beautifully intertwines Sandwich's allegiance to the monarchy with its maritime heritage, embodying the town's dual identity.
