Coat-of-arms
Bosschaert - Antwerpen
 
Coat-of-arms designed for
Anthony Bosschaert


This is the coat-of-arms of Anton Allaert Bosschaert.

It is based on the crest of Bosschaert-Antwerpen, but Anton prefered to change the 3 plovers or pewits into merlets, as described in some old documents.
Tom obtained this crest several years ago from a Bosschaert of the frenchspeaking part of Belgium.

A merlet is a bird without a snail and feet, and symbolises "the good sound of an honorable name".

 

  Anthony is a Parish priest. For that reason he can only bear an ecclesiastical coat-of-arms.

The crest is a galero (or a pastoral hat) with black & white cords and 2 tassels. (Reference: Bruno Heim's book on ecclasiastical heraldry)

The coat-of-arms is new: an uprooted tree on a gold field with two green woodpeckers.
His motto: "Introibo ad altare Dei" ;
meaning: "I will go to the altar of God".
