Hoogwoud Wapen (Netherlands) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the historic coat of arms, or "wapen," of Hoogwoud, a former municipality in the Netherlands. The design is a striking display of heraldic artistry, rich with symbolic meaning.
Shield Details
The central element is the shield, quartered into four distinct sections:
- Top-Left Quarter: A silver/white field ("Argent") featuring a vibrant red lion ("gules"). This lion embodies strength and nobility.
- Top-Right Quarter: A blue field ("Azure") adorned with a golden sheaf of wheat ("Or"). The wheat symbolizes the area's agricultural heritage.
- Bottom-Left Quarter: A blue field ("Azure") depicting a silver linden tree ("argent") uprooted, showcasing its deep roots in the local identity.
- Bottom-Right Quarter: A gold field ("Or") showcasing a headless red lion ("gules"), with blue claws and tongue, representing a significant historical event, the death of Count William II of Holland.
Additional Elements
Above the shield, a golden crown, adorned with three leaves and two pearls, adds a touch of regal elegance.
Supporters
Flanking the shield are the supporters: on the viewer's left, a golden lion (tongued and clawed red), and on the viewer's right, a silver eagle (beaked, tongued and taloned red). These noble animals reinforce the connection to historical prestige.
The entire design offers a visual narrative of Hoogwoud's history, local identity, and historical significance.
