At the heart of the design rests a smaller shield, an 'écusson', in shimmering argent (silver\/white). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003ePoised atop the azure field, positioned in chief (the upper part), are three stylized merlettes or (gold) birds. Arranged in a neat horizontal row, these merlettes, traditionally depicting swallows or martlets, are a classic heraldic symbol. Their representation without feet is a symbolic reference to continuous flight and adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eMeaning and Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe design tells a story of local history and lineage.
