Painting inspired in [Nisbet, A.; 1816; page 21, pictures 1 and 2], but with the 3 boar's heads of Alexander Nisbet within the 2nd bordure invected.

Blazon writen by the College of Arms for the coat of arms of Michael John Huxley-Evans «Per fess nebuly Sable and Ermine in chief a Rose Argent barbed and seeded proper within a wreath of Thorns Or in base three Boar's Heads erased Sable armed Or.», but to differentiate from the «armed» of the claws, I prefer «tusked» to «armed» for the defenses/tusks of the boar's heads.

Gules, a base enarched Vert, overall a cross patty fitchy Or, piercing in base the head of a serpent nowed and facing sinister Sable, langued Gules.

I have interpreted this coat of arms with a semi-circular shape; tintures or, sable, vert and gules; outlined with sable; and a freehand finish.

In Polish heraldic tradition the color Sable can be over other colors, the color Vert in this case. The following bibliographical references can be consulted about the Polish use of the color Sable over other colors:

  • [Bakala, K.; 2010; page 17] has written «nie pozwala nakladania metalu na metal, a barwy na barwe, za wyjatkiem barwy czarnej i purpurowej» ~ «does not allow to put metal on metal and color on color, except the color Sable and Purpure», notice that Sable and Purpure are the neutral colors whilst Gules, Azure and Vert are energetic colors.
  • [Marecki, J.; 2012; page 67] has written about the rule of colors and metals «wyjatkiem byla czern, która laczono zarówno z metalami, jak i z innymi barwami» ~ «the exception was black, which was combined with both metals and other colors».

Escudo de azur, un cabrio angrelado de oro acompañado de tres losanges de plata, cada uno cargado de una flor de lis de gules; una bordura componada de ocho compones, cuatro de sinople, cargados cada uno de un castillo de oro, aclarado de azur, mazonado de sable, y cuatro de plata, cargados cada uno de un rencuentro de toro de sable. Lema: «Honor et Veritas Semper Prorsus» de sable, con letras iniciales de gules, sobre una filacteria de plata.

Coat of arms devised by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a watercolor finish.

Design rationale

In Spanish heraldry, the use of bordures is often a matter of personal preference, in this case, the tinctures and charges on this bordure compony are a proud emblem of the bearer's origins from Utrera, Seville, the white represents the local architecture, the green symbolizes the olive groves, and the bull's head denotes Utrera as the cradle of the brave bull, a reference, along with the castle, to the arms of his town. The Latin motto tells us, «Honor and Truth Always at the Forefront».

Escudo cuartelado de azur y gules; brochante sobre el todo, una cabeza de leopardo coronada de oro, lampasada de gules, dentro de un trechor flordelisado de oro. Lema: «Entalente a parler d'armes».

The official blazon of this coat of arms is «Quarterly Azure and Gules a lion’s face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a tressure flory on the outer edge of the same». The following are my comments to the official blazon:

  • With «crowned» can be assumed the common default «crowned with an ancient crown».
  • With «tressure flory» can be assumed the common default «tressure flory on the outer edge».
  • I use to specify the «langued», for example Gules or Azure, because I think there is not a common default tincture for «langued» in all heraldic traditions.
  • The use of «overall» can help to understand the blazon, then I add it.
