Zilupes novads COA (Latvia) T-Shirt: A Heraldic Display
This t-shirt proudly showcases the coat of arms (COA) of Zilupes novads, a former municipality in Latvia's Latgale region, offering a striking representation of its heraldic design.
Design Overview
The artwork centers on a shield divided vertically, a technique known as "per pale." This creates two distinct fields, each housing specific heraldic elements.
Dexter (Left) Half: Authority and Power
The dexter, or left, side presents a vibrant red field. Dominating this space is a golden double key. This powerful symbol suggests themes of authority, guardianship, and access to crucial domains, potentially representing dual power or protection.
Sinister (Right) Half: Historical Echoes
On the sinister, or right, side, a silver (white) field provides a contrasting backdrop. This field bears five black "left spears" or slashes. These intriguing markings could symbolize historical struggles, boundaries, or a need for defense, though their precise interpretation remains open to discussion.
Color and Symbolism
The color palette is rich with meaning. The red field embodies bravery and strength, while the gold key signifies generosity and excellence. The silver (white) background speaks of peace and sincerity. Together, these elements combine to produce a heraldic display imbued with symbolic weight.
