Origin/meaning

Unfortunately we have no information on the meaning or origin of these arms yet.

Colonial arms

Before the Indonesian independence the city used the arms below:

Arms (crest) of Padang

If this text appears, it means that background information is available, but that I have not yet had the time to add the information on these arms. Just [|mail me with the name of the town in the subject !] and I will add all information that I have !

In 1911 however, completely different arms were proposed. These arms showed in a blue field two crossed silver 'klewangs' (local swords) with golden hilts. As supporters already two tigers appeared, the crown was a Dutch-style city crown. As a motto ' Aso Solok, doewo Salajo, toigo padang, ampeq Koempani' (I have no translation) was added. I have no information whether these arms were ever used.

Literature : Rühl, 1933; Koffie Hag albums, 1920s and http://tlvima.leidenuniv.nl; De Sumatra Post 21-02-1911.
