Polish coat of arms / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The historical coat of arms, that served as the symbol of the Sandomierz Land, and the Sandomierz Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland, from 14th to 18th centuries, was divided into two fields, with the left field consisting of six stripes, that were alternatining either between red and white, or red and yellow colours, and with the right field consisting of several yellow six-armed stars, which number altered between seven and nine.
The coat of arms was later used as the symbol of the Sandomierz Voivodeship (1816–1837), and the Sandomierz Governorate (1837–1841), of the Congress Poland, and was part of the design of the coat of arms of the Radom Governorate from 1845 to 1866. Currently, the coat of arms is included in the design of the coat of arms of the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, and the coat of arms of the Sandomierz County.
