Watermaal-Bosvoorde Wapens (Coat of Arms) T-Shirt: Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the distinguished coat of arms (wapen) of Watermaal-Bosvoorde (Watermael-Boitsfort), a municipality within the Brussels-Capital Region of Belgium. The design centers around a classic heraldic composition, imbued with symbolic meaning tied to the area's history and character.
Design Elements
The central element is a prominent stag's head, depicted "caboshed proper," meaning in its natural color, and shown facing forward with the head severed at the neck. The stag's head is set against a silver (argent) field, providing a clear contrast that draws the eye.
Above the stag's head is a "chief azure" (a blue upper section). Within this chief is a golden (or) hunting horn, complete with a golden string. The hunting horn is a traditional symbol of the chase, further enhancing the historical connection to the area's past.
Symbolism and Meaning
The stag's head pays homage to the historical significance of Watermaal-Bosvoorde, specifically referencing a former ducal hunting lodge that once stood in the area. This represents a connection to the noble hunting traditions that were once a part of the landscape.
The blue chief and the hunting horn are equally symbolic. The horn also symbolizes the hunting traditions that shaped the area. Together, the elements capture the area’s identity.
