Symbolism > crown vallary

crown vallary

The crown is an emblem of victory, sovereignty, and empire. It is a visible sign of success, thus the term "crowning achievement," and its significance as the decoration of the ultimate level of rank and power makes bearing the crown a great honour. Crowns are also sometimes symbols of God, as he is considered by some to be the “King of all.” The word crown, blazoned without any additional details, usually implies a ducal coronet without a cap. A crown palisado is the name of a crown with palisades on the rim forming the spikes of the crown. This can either look like the pickets of a fence, or less correctly, like the silhouette of small houses side by side with every other one upside down, with the roof of each upside down one cut out of the metal. The latter description is called a champagne border. It is said that Roman Generals awarded the crown palisado to the one who entered the camp of the enemy first after breaking through their outworks. It is also called a crown vallary from the Latin vallus, which roughly translates to palisade.
