Oulun läänin vaakuna (Coat of Arms) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the historical coat of arms of Oulu Province in Finland. The design is a striking representation of the region's heritage, meticulously rendered to capture the original heraldic details.
The Shield
The shield itself is divided vertically, presenting two distinct halves (per pale). The viewer's left side (dexter) is a deep blue field adorned with six silver (white) ermines, running in a 2+2+2 arrangement. This element pays homage to the older arms of the historical region of Pohjanmaa (Ostrobothnia), which constituted part of Oulu Province.
The right side (sinister) of the shield features a golden (yellow) double-towered castle with red doors and windows, set against a blue background. This castle symbolizes the area around Kajaani and its historical castle symbol, marking the eastern part of the province.
The Crown
Crowning the shield is a ducal or count's crown, signifying the province's historical status. The crown sits atop the shield, adding a layer of official authority and grandeur to the design.
Overall Meaning and Symbolism
The combined elements of the coat of arms tell a story of the region. The ermines reflect the broader history of Pohjanmaa, while the castle represents a specific significant area within the province. The crown elevates the design, signifying its official role as a provincial emblem.
