Rendition of arms by
Andrew S. Jamieson
Spanish Blasón: Partido de azur y
gules, y sobre el todo un castillo de oro de dos torres, surmontado un
búho del mismo metal con las alas desplegadas, cargando sobre su pecho
una pera de azur; bordura componada de veintidós piezas de oro y
gules, cargadas estas ultimas de un copihue floreciente, de oro.
Timbre: yelmo antiguo de hidalgo, de acero bruñido, sumado de un
burelete gules y oro, de donde asoman tres plumas de avestruz de los
colores rojo, oro y azur, respectivamente. Lambrequines: gules y oro.
Lleva por lema: Sapere aude.
The arms represent
elements of the ancestral origins of the Perez-Ramirez family in
Asturias Spain, as well as elements allegoric of Cataluna and Chile.
Asturias, the land of the Armiger's paternal grandparents is
represented by the Azure, the colour of the flag of Asturias and the
pear symbolising the patronymic name Perez. The twin towered castle
represents the Catalan last name Castells for the armiger's wife's
maiden name and is also a source of strength. The bordure compony
Gules and Or is allegoric of the Catalan flag. On each Gules of the
compony, the national flower of Chile depicted Or, ("The Copihue"),
symbolises the armiger's birth place. The owl in the centre of the
shield stands for Wisdom and Knowledge.
The armiger is a Knight
of Yuste (Spain), Knight of Saint Michael of the Wing (Portugal)
