Across this field, a broad blue diagonal band (alla banda d'azzurro) stretches from the upper-left to the lower-right. This band is a visual focal point, bearing scattered golden wasps (seminata di vespe d’oro), a clever heraldic pun on the family name, \"Vespucci,\" which translates to \"little wasps.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAdding to the design is a quartering of the shield, symbolizing an honor granted in 1463. This augmentation features a silver field bearing a golden vase brimming with natural violets.
