G0066: the coat of arms of Andrea Pompili, of Italy, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. The hand-drawn tree shown in this photograph was originally created for the coat of arms of Andrea Pompili, commissioned by Dr Charles A. Gauci, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta. Some time later, an art collector asked me for a dedicated hand drawing. I chose this tree because its canopy has a distinctive heraldic shape, setting it apart from the other drawings in his collection, as it was specifically designed to fit beneath the two chevronels. This is also the reason for the handwritten note «under a chevron» beside the drawing, note that chevronel is the heraldic term for a diminished chevron. Before sending it, I inscribed the sheet with a dedication, which explains the handwritten text visible alongside the artwork.

Personal coat of arms of Her Excellency Myriam Spiteri Debono, President of Malta, grant G0134 by Dr. Charles A. Gauci, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta. This coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. I have written the blazon in English and Castilian in a structured way to observe the parallelism between both forms. Someone asked me a interesting question about the first quarter: «Why is the lion overlapping the fess (i.e., colour on colour)?» This was my answer: I had no choice in the design, since each quarter represents one of her ancestral lineages, and the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta provided the precise blazon for each of them. My work was to paint the coat of arms according to those official instructions. In the case of the lion, it overlaps slightly because it is shown walking upon the fess. And importantly, the rule of tincture does not apply to tiny details. A well-known example is the lions of the arms of the Kingdom of England, whose claws are color Azure over a color Gules field. In this case, the lion’s claws and the underside of its paws are color Gules over an color Azure fess, perfectly acceptable for such small elements.

Tierced per pale: 1 Or, upon a fess Azure a lion passant Gules holding a sword point upwards Argent [for Spiteri]; 2 Azure, upon a base Vert a tree eradicated proper, supported at sinister by a man proper wearing a loincloth Argent and holding in his sinister a spear point upwards Or and in chief three mullets of six points in fess Or [for Debono], 3 Gules, two hands clasped throughout proper, vested Argent, holding a dagger point upwards Argent, hilted Or, in chief three mullets of six points in fess Or and in base a sprig of olive fesswise proper [for Zammit].

Terciado en palo: 1o de oro, una faja de azur cargada de un león pasante de gules teniendo una espada alzada de plata [de Spiteri]; 2o de azur, un árbol arrancado al natural, terrazado de sinople, soportado a la siniestra de un hombre al natural, vestido de un taparrabos de plata, teniendo en su siniestra una lanza alzada de oro, en jefe tres estrellas de seis puntas en faja de oro [de Debono]; 3o de gules, una alianza moviente de los flancos de carnación, vestida de plata, teniendo una daga alzada de plata, guarnecida de oro, en jefe tres estrellas de seis puntas en faja de oro, en punta una ramita de olivo puesta en faja al natural [de Zammit].
