The meaning of the bird with the ring and the horseshoe is not known. They may have been derived from the arms of local noble families. It is officially a Night Heron (''Nycticorax nycticorax''). The Eye of Providence was the symbol of the so-called Four-year Parliament (1788-1792). The city received its arms during this period. The symbol was used to indicate that all actions of the Parliament were watched (and sanctioned) by God. | The meaning of the bird with the ring and the horseshoe is not known.
