This t-shirt showcases the intricate and historically significant Coat of Arms of the Principality of Lippe, a former state in Germany. The design is a vibrant representation of heraldic tradition, meticulously rendered to capture the essence of this noble emblem.
The Central Rose: A Symbol of Lippe
At the heart of the design is the iconic "Lippische Rose," the principal symbol of Lippe. A striking red rose, complete with golden seeds and delicate green sepals, is prominently displayed on a silver (argent) shield.

- Schwalenberg: A bold black cross emblazoned on a silver field, representing an ancestral territory.
- Sternberg: A vibrant red star gracefully positioned on a silver field, further enriching the historical tapestry.

- Ameide: A unique pattern of six bars - three vair (alternating silver and blue fur) and three red - arranged on a gold field, completes the intricate quartering.
