Design rationale

The hurt represents what is known as the Good Raft, a symbol of the town and its people, it is a circular cistern of 40 meters in diameter of Roman origin, and the Maltese cross is a symbol of its connection since 1188 to the Royal Monastery of Sijena of Hospitaller nuns of the Order Malta.

This avoids any hint of naturalism, which is so contrary to the art and science of heraldry».

Coat of arms of the municipality of Candasnos, Huesca, designed by Valeriano Labara Ballestar and approved by the Government of Aragon. It has been an honor for me to emblazon this hatched version with a crown for Valeriano Labara. I have interpreted it using dots and lines, a method called hatching which was useful for black and white illustrations. For the hatching I follow Silvestre Pietrasanta (1638) and Marcus Vulson de la Colombière (1639): for metals, Or with dots and Argent with pure white; for colors, Gules with vertical lines, Azure with horizontal lines, and for some jewels in the crown, Vert with diagonal lines bendwise. A hatched version can be seen in [Labara Ballestar, V. C.; 2019; pages 344 and 357].
