Zbraslav Praha-znak (Czech Republic) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the official coat of arms of Zbraslav, a district of Prague in the Czech Republic. The design is a vibrant and symbolic representation of Zbraslav's rich history and cultural identity.
Shield & Base
The central element is a shield, rendered in a striking blue. This field is grounded by a green grassy base, providing a natural setting for the other elements within.
Key Elements and Their Symbolism
On the right side of the shield, a silver (white) church with a red roof stands tall. This church, detailed with an octagonal "sanktusník" (small bell tower) and four black windows, represents the historical and religious significance of the Zbraslav Monastery, a former Cistercian abbey.
To the left, a lime tree (linden tree) in its natural green color is displayed. The linden tree is a traditional symbol in Czech culture, representing Slavic identity, growth, nature, and the local heritage of Zbraslav.
Above, in the sky, a white dove carrying an olive branch soars. This universal symbol of peace adds a layer of spiritual meaning, possibly connected to the area's religious heritage.
Historical Context & Representation
The design draws upon the old seal symbols related to the historical Cistercian monastery of Zbraslav. The elements were carefully selected to reflect Zbraslav's history before becoming part of Prague in 1974. The formal design, inspired by historical seals, preserves and celebrates the distinct heritage of this Czech district.
