Coat of Arms of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir - Order of the Elephant Hoodie: Design Description
This hoodie design showcases the heraldic achievement of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, specifically the coat of arms granted to her as a member of the Order of the Elephant, Denmark's highest order of chivalry.
The Shield
The central element is the shield, which is a vivid azure (blue). Centered on the shield is a prominent vertical stripe, known as a "pale," colored gules (red). This red pale is further emphasized by a delicate edging, or fimbriation, in argent (silver/white), creating a striking visual contrast.
The Symbolic Linden Tree
Upon the red pale rests a stylised linden tree rendered in gold (or). This emblem is a direct representation of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir's profound interest in the environment and her dedication to the healing and restoration of the land, specifically representing vegetation and nature's vitality.
The Helm and Wings
Surmounting the shield is a helm, above which is a pair of graceful silver falcon (or hawk) wings, forming the crest. These wings symbolize elevation, aspiration, and perhaps a personal motif, as wings are frequently employed in heraldry to depict swiftness or lofty goals.
Overall Meaning
The design as a whole is a visually rich statement. The blue field speaks of nobility and personal distinction. The red pale, bordered by silver, is a strong central motif. The golden linden tree underscores the wearer’s connection to land restoration and healing. The silver wings on top symbolize elevation. The artwork, a testament to heraldic tradition, conveys a story of personal values and recognition within a prestigious order.
