Lets break this down. We will start with the arms:
Lets break this down. We will start with the arms:
SABLE
(Black): Black,
the coldest of the colors, corresponds to lead. Black, or ‘sable,’
is symbolic of sadness. It also corresponds with winter and is a
humble color, suitable for the deeply religious. It denotes the
qualities of knowledge, piety, serenity and work. Engravers represent
it with numerous horizontal and vertical lines crossing each other.
MOUNT
(rising or hillock):
On which crests are often under set, and usually for artistic
purposes. Although occasionally, they were used to represent burial
mounds and symbolized either remembrance, or protection by the device
or charge resting on the mound. Sometimes referred to as a
Compartment.
VERT
(Green);
(fr. sinople): The French are said to have called it Sinople, from a
town in Asia Minor (Sinope) from which were brought the best
materials for dyeing green, or silks and stuffs of a brilliant green
color; signifies hope, joy, and loyalty in love.
MAN:
Meaning
lost in antiquity. Perhaps representing what the original bearer was
know for. In this case a farmer.
OR
(Gold or Yellow): Known
as 'jaune'; symbolizes generosity and elevation of the mind; one of
the two metals of Heraldry. 'Or' is from Latin (aurum): the chief of
the tinctures; it is called Sol by those who blazon by the sun and
planets.
GRAPES:
An ancient symbol of hospitality and youthfulness; vineyard.
SYCLE:
Shows
a bountiful harvest from the hands of a farmer.
PROPER:
In heraldry the term proper describes a charge represented in its
natural color.
Next we will discuss the crest:
It is the man of the arms so it has the same meaning as discussed above.
