LLIW VALLEY Shield (United Kingdom) (Coat of Arms) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the striking coat of arms of the former Lliw Valley Borough Council, a historical entity in West Glamorgan, Wales. The design is a bold and colorful representation of civic heraldry, offering a glimpse into the region's history and identity.
Shield Design
The central element is the shield, the heart of the heraldic design. It features a field divided into eight vertical stripes of alternating silver (Argent) and green (Vert), arranged in a wavy pattern (paly wavy). This represents the Afon Lliw, the river that flows through the valley, with the wavy lines symbolizing water.
Central Charge: The Bridge
Across the center of the shield is a prominent red (Gules) three-arched bridge. This structure is detailed with black (Sable) masonry, emphasizing its architectural form and the infrastructure of the area. The bridge symbolizes connectivity and the built environment of the Lliw Valley.
Flanking Supporters: The Ravens
Flanking the bridge on either side are two black (Sable) ravens. They are depicted respectant, meaning they are facing each other. The ravens may symbolize local wildlife or hold a deeper historical significance connected to the region's heritage.
Overall Meaning
The combination of these elements tells a visual story. The wavy stripes of silver and green invoke the natural beauty of the Lliw Valley, while the bridge speaks to human presence and engineering. The ravens add a layer of mystique, possibly tying into local history and legends. This design is a rich, symbolic encapsulation of the Lliw Valley's past.
