Renkum Wapenschild (Netherlands) T-Shirt: Design Description
This T-shirt showcases the historic coat of arms of Renkum, a municipality in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands, established by Royal Decree in 1925. The design is a direct representation of the heraldic achievement, a symbol rich in historical and regional significance.
The Shield: A Quartered Emblem
The central element of the design is the shield, which is divided into four distinct quarters. Each quarter features a unique emblem that contributes to the overall symbolism of the design.
Quarterly Display and Symbolism:
- First Quarter: The upper left quadrant presents a silver (Argent) field, charged with a black (Sable) horse in full gallop. This imagery pays homage to the historical presence of the Saxons in the Renkum region.
- Second Quarter: Located in the upper right, this quarter showcases a red (Gules) background with a galloping white (Argent) horse. This design element is derived from the coat of arms of Doorwerth, which became part of Renkum's municipality.
- Third Quarter: The lower left segment features a gold (Or) field with a red (Gules) diagonal band (bend). This stripe represents the former lordship of Baer, which held significant land in Oosterbeek.
- Fourth Quarter: The lower right corner displays a blue (Azure) field with a golden (Or) lion rampant, armed and with tongue extended in red (Gules). This striking element symbolizes the historical County of Guelders (Gelre), to which Renkum belonged.
Crown and Motto
Above the shield is a ducal coronet, distinguished by 17 pearls. This reflects the noble heritage of the Renkum region. The design also incorporates the motto "Gemeentebestuur van Renkum" which encircles the shield.
