Greater coat of arms of the grand-duchy of Luxembourg - Pint Glass 16oz

The Greater Coat of Arms of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg is a heraldic emblem that serves as the highest rank of armorial bearing for this European country. It consists of a shield, helm, mantling, and supporters, all of which are rich in symbolism representing various aspects of Luxembourg's history, culture, and geography. The central element on the shield is a lion passant guardant, a common motif in Luxembourg heraldry, symbolizing strength and vigilance. Surrounding the lion are several other symbols including a golden castle, representing the ancient fortifications of Luxembourg City; three gold bars (or fleurs-de-lis) for the duchy's old title as Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine; two green eagles for the county of Ardennes; and a golden lion for the County of Luxembourg. The helmet, mantling, and supporters add further details to this emblem. The mantling, or fabric draped over the helmet, is vertically divided into red and white (or gules and argent), the traditional colors of Luxembourg. The helmet is adorned with a baron's coronet, symbolizing the grand-ducal rank. The supporters are two lions grasping a banner charged with a Maltese cross, another significant element in Luxembourg heraldry. The lions represent the power of the Grand Duke and their vigilance over the realm. The Maltese cross is a symbol of chivalry, piety, and military valor. This Greater Coat of Arms serves as a powerful symbol of Luxembourg's history, culture, and continued sovereignty, representing the grand-ducal lineage and the country's unique blend of heritage and identity.
