Onslow Arms (New Zealand) Coat of Arms T-Shirt
This T-shirt showcases the historically significant Onslow family coat of arms, a powerful heraldic emblem linked to the British noble family and particularly associated with William Hillier Onslow, the 4th Earl of Onslow, who served as Governor of New Zealand.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The central element of the design is the shield (escutcheon). It features a silver (argent) field, bisected by a red (gules) horizontal band known as a fess. Above and below the fess are six black Cornish choughs (sable), characterized by their red beaks and legs (gules). The choughs are a symbol of vigilance and resourcefulness.
Above the shield rests the crest: a majestic black (sable) eagle, clutching a golden (or) partridge in its talons. The eagle represents strength, vision, and nobility, while the partridge signifies vulnerability and the eagle's dominance.
The design is completed by the supporters: two natural falcons (proper), positioned on either side of the shield. They are adorned with golden (or) bells. These falcons, a symbol of swiftness and nobility, serve to enhance the grandeur of the overall composition.
The motto, "Festina Lente" (Make haste slowly), is not visually represented but underscores the family's character - a reminder of the need for deliberation even in periods of great action.
The overall design reflects the Onslow family's historical connection to New Zealand, symbolizing their role in colonial administration and adding a layer of historical significance to the imagery.
