Many of the Russian territorial entities and their capitals have similar heraldic symbols. For example, the coat of arms of the Lipetsk region and, accordingly, the coat of arms of Lipetsk itself. Even the most attentive person will not find the difference between the main elements depicted on the shields.
Description of the heraldic sign
For the sketch of the regional coat of arms, only three colors were chosen - scarlet, green and gold. Moreover, they belong to the category of flowers most often used in world heraldry. In addition, each of the representatives of the Lipetsk region coat of arms palette has its own important symbolic meaning, while together they look harmonious and rich (which is demonstrated by any color photo).
The main difference between the coat of arms of the region and the official symbol of the city lies in the presence of the following elements in the frame: a land crown, for the image of which a gold color was used; ribbons of the Order of Lenin.
It is clear that these symbols have their own role in the coat of arms, as well as the main element present on the shield of the famous French form. On the coat of arms of the region, against a scarlet background, a golden linden tree is depicted, which has a powerful, fairly wide trunk, and a dense crown. The tree is located on a green base, it is emphasized that this is not grass, but five green hills, a kind of reflection of the local landscape.
Symbols of elements of the coat of arms
The specialist will appreciate the harmony of the elements of the coat of arms, the unity of symbols and color palette. Each of the elements of the coat of arms separately and all of them together symbolically demonstrate the contribution of the Lipetsk region and residents to the economic and cultural development of the country.
The basis for the coat of arms was the historical heraldic symbol, which was received by the county town of Lipetsk in August 1781. The authors of the sketch chose a linden tree as the main element, thus they kind of played up the name of the city and made a reference to the formation of the toponym.
Five green hills also appeared for a reason, four of them symbolize the historical lands of other Russian regions that were part of the Lipetsk region earlier. This Russian region owes its birth to the Voronezh, Kursk, Oryol and Ryazan regions. The fifth hill, depicted on the shield, is the Lipetsk region itself.
Green in heraldry is associated with the flourishing of nature, respectively, with prosperity, stability, prosperity.
