Visual Elements
The core of the design is the shield, a stark black (sable) field. Contrasting beautifully against this dark background is a golden (or) crossbow. The crossbow is depicted pointing upwards, signifying an upward trajectory or progress. Its string and finer details are rendered in silver (argent), adding a delicate yet distinct element to the overall composition.
Meaning and Symbolism
The chosen elements are rich with symbolism. The crossbow is a symbol of defense and vigilance, reflecting the historical readiness of the people of Pielavesi to protect themselves. The gold used in the crossbow symbolizes valor and wealth, attributes highly regarded. The solid black background represents strength and resilience, conveying an enduring and unwavering character.
This design is a direct representation of the official heraldic emblem, designed by Gustaf von Numers and officially confirmed in 1953, offering a piece of Finnish heritage.
