The artwork is a vibrant representation of Devon's unique character and heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eCentral Design: The Shield\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe primary element is the shield, the heart of the coat of arms. Dominating the field is a striking red lion rampant on a silver (argent) background, crowned in gold (or). This powerful image is derived from the arms of Richard, Earl of Cornwall, granted to Devon centuries ago.  At the top of the shield is a \"chief\" (horizontal band) divided into two parts, a wavy azure (blue) and barry wavy (alternating white and blue), representing the sea. Centered on this chief is an ancient ship in silver, further emphasizing Devon's strong maritime traditions and historical significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eAbove the Shield: The Crest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAbove the shield, the crest offers another layer of symbolism.  A Dartmoor pony's head, colored appropriately (\"proper\") and emerging from a golden naval coronet (a crown crafted with ship sails and sterns),  is depicted holding a sprig of heather in its mouth. This highlights Devon's unique moorland wildlife, particularly the Dartmoor pony, while the heather represents the local flora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eFlanking the Shield: The Supporters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe shield is supported by two carefully chosen figures. On the right (dexter) side stands a Devon bull, acknowledging the county's agricultural roots.  On the left (sinister) side, a sea lion, a creature that blends the lion and a fish, visually connecting Devon to both the land and the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Motto\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWhile not a visual element, the motto \"Auxilio Divino\" (\"By divine aid\"), which historically belonged to Sir Francis Drake, underscores the county's maritime past and provides a further connection to its history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"1.5oz","offer_id":51350357344536,"sku":"23359073563520746914","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/coat-of-arms-of-devon-county-council-england-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-15oz-15oz-position1.webp?v=1768446620","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/coat-of-arms-of-devon-county-council-england-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-1-5oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
