MELRAND
Département : Morbihan
| French |
Parti: au 1er d'hermine, au 2e d'or au calvaire du lieu d'argent; le tout sommé d'un chef de sinople chargé d'un boeuf tractant une charrue poussée par un laboureur faisant claquer un fouet au-dessus du boeuf, le tout de sable sur une terrasse alésée du même. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were designed in 1988.
The ermine field is taken from the arms of Bretagne, the historical region in which the village is situated. The chief shows a farmer, ploughing the soil. This refers to the cultivation of the forests for agriculture, which already happened a long time ago, as can be concluded from archaeological findings in the area. I have no information on the meaning of the statue.
Literature: Froger and Pressensé, 1999.
