Ootmarsum Wapenschild (Coat of Arms) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the historic coat of arms, or wapen, of the Dutch city of Ootmarsum. The artwork presents a striking and symbolic heraldic design, deeply rooted in the town's history and identity.
Visual Elements
The central element is a shield of azure (blue). Across this field, a prominent gold (or) cross takes center stage. Superimposed upon the golden cross is a smaller cross of the same blue hue, creating a layered and visually interesting effect. In the four quadrants formed by the primary cross, there are four golden lions, positioned symmetrically around the design.
Above the shield, the design is topped with a golden city crown, composed of five visible leaf-like elements, which is a common symbol of a municipality.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design is rich in symbolism. The four golden lions represent the four quarters, or "veerln," into which the town was historically divided, highlighting the local structure. The cross serves as a traditional heraldic symbol, frequently representing faith, and a connection to the town's heritage. The arms are also linked to the noble family of Van Ootmarsum. This intricate composition, along with the official approval by the Dutch authorities, signifies a connection to the town's past.
