Torfaen COA Shield T-Shirt: A Heraldic Display
This t-shirt showcases the official Coat of Arms (COA) of Torfaen County Borough Council, a striking emblem of heritage and place. The design is a visual journey through the history and landscape of South East Wales.
Shield Elements: A Quartered Design
The shield itself is divided into four quarters, each contributing to the rich tapestry of the design. The first and fourth quarters feature a black diamond (lozenge) bearing a golden sheaf of wheat (garb). These represent the area's agricultural past and the bounty of the land.
The second and third quarters depict a black crow (raven) with outstretched wings, clutching a golden Japanese-style vase. The raven is a prominent symbol of the region, while the vase hints at historical connections or perhaps artistic influences.
Across the center of the shield runs a white horizontal band, known as a fess. This fess bears two wavy blue lines, symbolizing the rivers and valleys that shape the Torfaen landscape, connecting the community.
The Crest: Rising Above
Above the shield, the crest presents a golden sun bursting forth over a range of green hills. This powerful imagery symbolizes the dawn of a new era for Torfaen, with the hills anchoring the scene to the region’s geography.
This majestic arrangement is encircled by a band of wheat sheaves and black diamonds, further connecting the crest to the imagery used in the shield itself, reinforcing the symbols of agriculture and heritage.
A Unified Statement
The entire design comes together to represent the unity and collaborative spirit of the Torfaen community, a visual statement of its history and the aspirations of its people.
