Wappen Burggrafen von Nürnberg Haus Raas (Denmark) T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a striking representation of the coat of arms (Wappen) of the Burgraves of Nuremberg, belonging to the House of Raabs. The design centers around a powerful heraldic motif, rich in symbolism and historical significance.
The Central Emblem: The Sable Lion
At the heart of the design stands a majestic black lion (sable), depicted in a rampant pose, its front claws raised in a display of strength and authority. The lion's distinctive queue fourchée, or forked tail, adds a unique and instantly recognizable element. This specific characteristic sets the Raabs lion apart.
Color and Accoutrements
The lion is rendered with a crowned head, the crown in vibrant red. Its claws ("armed") and tongue ("langued") are also colored in a bold red (gules), further emphasizing the lion's power and regal bearing. The entire figure is set against a golden (or) background, which adds richness and importance to the symbol.
The Border: A Statement of Distinction
Encircling the central image is a bordure compony of alternating squares of silver (argent) and red (gules). This border, known as a 'compony', adds another layer of visual interest and further distinguishes this coat of arms.
Meaning and Significance
The coat of arms, as depicted, embodies principles of strength (the lion), nobility (the crown), and lineage (the heraldic tradition). The specific characteristics of the Raabs lion, with its unique forked tail and the distinctive border, serve as a visual identifier of the Burgraves of Nuremberg, a noble family with a significant historical role. It is a striking and meaningful design representing historical heritage.
