Unterwalden Coat of Arms Hoodie: Design Description
This hoodie showcases the historic coat of arms of Unterwalden, a former canton in Switzerland. The design is a striking visual representation of the union of Obwalden and Nidwalden, two of its constituent half-cantons.
Design Elements
The central element of the design is a shield, horizontally divided into two distinct fields. The upper half is vibrant red, while the lower half is a pristine silver (white). This divided field, known as "per fess" in heraldic terms, is the contribution of Obwalden to the overall design.
Superimposed upon this two-toned field is a prominent double-key, positioned vertically. The key's color is "counterchanged," a key heraldic technique. This means the portion of the key that rests on the red field is rendered in silver, and the part on the silver field is rendered in red. This key is the symbol of Nidwalden, linked to its patron saint, St. Peter.
Symbolism and Meaning
The design speaks volumes about the historical context of Unterwalden. The combined elements are a direct representation of the region's origins. The red and silver/white field symbolizes Obwalden, while the double-key stands for Nidwalden and, by extension, its patron saint, St. Peter, making the design a testament to the combined identity of the region.
The counterchanged key serves as an elegant visual device, further emphasizing the heraldic precision and thoughtful symbolism of the historic Unterwalden coat of arms.
