I present to your attention my new project – rough sketches for the future state emblem of Ingria. The project consists of two of my sketches – a medium state emblem and a large state emblem.
1. Small state coat of arms: is the classic coat of arms of Ingria with additions in the form of green wreaths, blue “Ingria” violets and a white ribbon with the name of the state. In fact, the middle coat of arms is a complete reconstruction of the historical coat of arms of Northern Ingria from 1919-1920.
2. Large state coat of arms: the middle coat of arms, which are held by heraldic lynxes. By the way, in one of the groups dedicated to Ingria, a survey was held: “Which mammal should become a symbol of Ingria?”, and among the proposed options, one of the most popular were the Cat and the Lynx. Of course, cats are quite important in the culture of Ingria, but it is still worth understanding that they are not suitable as state symbols, but lynxes are very much so.
Nouse, Inkeri!
