Serbian heraldry

Serbian heraldry involves the study and use of coats of arms and other heraldic insignia in the country of Serbia or by Serbs. The Serbian government is the armiger in Serbia, exercising that right under the advice of the Serbian Heraldry Society (Serbian: Српско хералдичко друштво, romanized: Srpsko heraldičko društvo), a learned society devoted to the study and creation of heraldry, specifically Serbian heraldry.

Serbian heraldry in large part belongs to the Byzantine tradition. Serbian nobility in the Habsburg monarchy, upon receiving noble status, adopted coat of arms often influenced by the Illyrian Armorials.

The most prominent and common symbols are the Serbian eagle (as in some other European heraldic traditions, the most prominent among the animals) and the Serbian cross, representing the national identity of the Serbian people across the centuries. Another common symbol is the Triballian boar, depicting the head of a boar pierced by an arrow. It was used for historical Serbia in numerous armorials dating between the 15th and 18th centuries and was incorporated into the seal of the government of the Revolutionary Serbia.^[1][2]

Popular elements in modern Serbian heraldry include the Serbian tricolour, nature (such as oak, olive, wheat, plum, grape), and weapons (such as sword, cannon, gun, arrows). The severed Turk head, in reference to the wars with the Ottoman Empire, is used on the coat of arms of Kikinda and Vršac.

El escudo de armas moderno deriva del escudo de la dinastía Obrenović , que a su vez recibió influencia de la dinastía medieval Nemanjić . El campo principal representa al estado serbio. Consiste en un águila bicéfala sobre un escudo rojo; su cuerpo y alas son de plata, y lenguas, picos, patas y garras son de oro, entre dos flores de lis doradas . El escusón representa a la nación serbia; en un escudo rojo, una cruz entre cuatro eslabones de acero plateados dispuestos en los cuarteles a su alrededor, todos ellos orientados horizontalmente hacia afuera. El escudo de armas también incluye la corona histórica serbia; si bien es inusual para las repúblicas, no carece de precedentes, como se puede observar en los escudos de armas de numerosos países europeos con forma republicana de gobierno (Rusia, Polonia, Rumania, Hungría, Bulgaria, Montenegro y San Marino). El escudo de armas se utiliza en forma de escudo mayor y escudo menor, según lo estipulado en el artículo 7 de la Constitución de Serbia.
