Wales Herald of Arms Extraordinary 1994-2010
Artist: David Fernandes (rendition by Luís Camilo Alves)
Symbolism: The tinctures Azure and Or are taken from the flag of Madeira Island, the armiger's place of birth. The oriental dragon represents the armiger's Chinese zodiac as well as his interests and connections within Asia. The triangle and rose are a symbolic of the armiger's spirituality and the joy that he must strive for in life. Finally the crescent symbolizes the armiger's hope for a better future.
