Crest Symbolism:

This crest depicts a lion in the "passant guardant" attitude, meaning it is walking with the right forepaw raised and its face turned directly toward the viewer. The lion, traditionally the king of beasts, is a timeless symbol of dauntless courage, bravery, strength, and royalty. The "guardant" posture emphasizes vigilance and watchfulness. The lion stands upon a "garb," or sheaf of wheat, which is lying horizontally "in fess." The garb is a classic heraldic symbol of plenty, abundance, and the harvest, often representing the hopes of the bearer for a fruitful life or the rewards of industry and agriculture. Together, the lion atop the sheaf suggests strength and vigilance protecting or presiding over abundance and prosperity.
