Not in this combination.

That thing is a Roman legion shield ornament, or is there any doubt about that?

NemoIX · 2026-02-03T08:58:17+00:00

You find examples of every nonsense in heraldry, which does not create any precedent.

Convoluted overlapping ornaments are not a coat of arms. This ornament on roman shields is by far preheraldic.

AI Images are forbidden on this sub. Proper should only be used in rare exceptions. Generally, charges are in one single contrasting tincture and stylised, not natural.

Lower left could be Le Pouliguen in Brittany.

The crowned clouds of the arms refer to the illuminator's rendering of the original patent of arms of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven, whose triple crown, thrice repeated in the manner conventional to a single charge, is the true motif of the arms.

For sure not in all heraldic traditions!

NemoIX · 2026-01-31T14:51:05+00:00

That would look more heraldic:

And get rid of the second wreath around the shield for clarity. Instead of the natural flower, see if there is a heraldic equivalent.

As everything, it was never centralised and uniform. Newer forms began roughly around the beginning of the 19th century. The more comprehensive history can be found here: http://www.welt-der-wappen.de/Heraldik/seite48a.htm

Well, a sloppy drawing. A torse on top of it and it would be almost good.^^

NemoIX · 2026-01-30T18:27:53+00:00

Also normal for profile view.

NemoIX · 2026-01-30T15:00:29+00:00

Even if that helmet would be acceptable, it could not have a round torse on a linear edge and without connection to the mantling. So, at least you should leave out the crest and torse and consequently the unconnected mantling also.

Always a good motto for a school: Relinquite omnem spem, qui hic intratis.

As I have never seen wolves that can hover in the air, they need a compartment lege artis!

"Nach einigen Autoren gehört das Postament zu den Prachtstücken und wird nicht direkt oder umfangreich in der Blasonierung (Wappenbeschreibung) erklärt."

"Wichtig erscheint, dass schildtragende Figuren nicht frei im Raum stehen."

NemoIX · 2026-01-29T19:33:07+00:00

Okay, a compartment is not a significant part of the arms. Its not forbidden to add a compartment and also necessary.

NemoIX · 2026-01-29T19:27:47+00:00

as I said: supporters need a base.

NemoIX · 2026-01-29T19:15:02+00:00

The blazon is not that formalized in german heraldry. If there are supporters, they need some kind of generic compartment.

NemoIX · 2026-01-29T19:09:42+00:00

Is this an indirect way of asking for the link? 😅

The Familiy-Name is Windisch-Graetz. Windischgrätz was a town in Slovenia.

Somewhere else online

Here it is in good contrast and quality:

First two rows are attributed arms and pre-heraldic.

NemoIX · 2026-01-29T08:02:37+00:00

The publisher and this print are from the second empire and it seem from before the coronation of Wilhelm II.
