Escudo de Trujillo Perú (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the official emblem of Trujillo, Peru: the Escudo de Armas (Coat of Arms). The design is a powerful visual representation of the city's rich history and colonial heritage.
Key Design Elements and Their Meanings
At the heart of the design are two striking columns of blue water. These represent the iconic Columns of Hercules, a mythological boundary signifying the limits of the known world, and reflecting the maritime power and exploration central to the era the coat of arms originated.
Crowning the columns is a royal crown, a direct symbol of the sovereignty of King Carlos I of Spain, who granted the coat of arms in 1537. This element emphasizes the historical context of Spanish colonial rule in Trujillo.
A central feature is the 'X' formed by the crossed bastones (staffs). This alludes to the Cruz de Borgoña, a significant military symbol of the Spanish monarchy, further reinforcing the connection to Spain and the colonial period.
A prominent, golden "K" is displayed, representing the Latin form of King Carlos I's name, "Karolus," thus directly referencing the monarch and the authority he bestowed upon the city.
Adding a touch of mythical strength, the design includes a griffin. This creature, a combination of a lion and an eagle, embraces the shield from behind. The griffin represents strength, courage, and vigilance, adding a layer of symbolism connected to the city's values.
The overall design is a sophisticated and symbolic fusion of heraldic elements, echoing the historical context and reinforcing the identity of Trujillo as a significant city in Peru.
