Symbolism > ram

ram

The ram is a symbol of authority and leadership. A person who bore such a device on his shield was supposed to possess all of the power and nobility that was attributed to the ram. It is a very common symbol in a crest or a coat of arms, as is the symbol of a ram’s head. The ram is often rampant, or in the fighting position on a crest or coat of arms, though it is also found in the positions of passant, statant and couchant.
