Origin/meaning
I have no information on the meaning or origin of these arms. Any information is welcome.
Colonial arms
Before the Indonesian independence the city used the arms below:
If this text appears, it means that I have not yet had the time to add the information on these arms. Just mail meand I will add the information and/or picture !
The arms in the Koffie Hag albums +/- 1930 |
The arms on a tile, 1930s |
In 1911 however, completely differnet arms were proposed. These arms showed in a blue field two crossed silver 'klewangs' (local swords) with golden hilts. As supporters already two tigers appeared, the crown was a Dutch-style city crown. As a motto ' Aso Solok, doewo Salajo, toigo padang, ampeq Koempani' (I have no translation) was added. I have no information whether these arms were ever used.
