UKR Markushi Berdychivskyi UHT (Ukraine) Hoodie - Design
This hoodie showcases the official coat of arms of Markushi, a village in the Berdychivskyi District of Ukraine. The design is a striking representation of the village's heritage and history, meticulously rendered with heraldic precision.
Visual Elements
The central element is the shield, divided horizontally. The upper section is azure (blue), symbolizing the sky and loyalty. Within this field, a white wading bird, likely a stork, soars alongside two golden crosses, positioned near the top. This upper field is separated from the lower field by a wavy line, representing water or a sense of fluidity.
The lower field is gules (red), signifying courage and strength. Here, crossed gold sabres (or swords) are displayed, a symbol of historical defense or military heritage. At the base of the shield, the inscription "МАРКУШІ 1594" is prominently featured, marking a significant date in the village's history.
The shield is further embellished with a stylized gold border, typical of Ukrainian municipal arms, adding a touch of grandeur and completeness to the design.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design is rich in symbolism. The bird, likely a stork, could represent local fauna, peace, nature, or the abundance of the region. The golden crosses likely reference the religious heritage and Christian faith within the community.
The crossed sabres speak to the area's history, potentially referencing past struggles or a heritage of defense. The year "1594" embedded at the base commemorates the founding, first mention, or other significant historical event of Markushi. The colors themselves contribute to the symbolism; blue for sky and loyalty, red for courage, and gold for generosity and wealth.
