History
Szeliga coat of arms in Baranów Sandomierski castle

One of the oldest Polish coats of arms. First reported in a heraldic inventory dated 1464–1480 "Insignia seu clenodia Regis et Regni Poloniae" by Polish historian Jan Długosz, who noted it as a genuine Polish coat of arms. This medieval historian noted information about Szeliga among the oldest 71 Polish coats of arms saying: "Scheliga lunam defectuosam ceruleam, in cuius medio crux eminet, in campo rubeo defert Genus Polonicum in Yenerem pronunt" [1].

Blazon

In the sanguine field there is a golden crescent with a golden cross dominating it. In the crest a peacock's tail or feathers.

gollark: Discord has less room to try and blare outrage bait at you, since it just directly shows what other users send, in real time.
gollark: There are better and worse kinds.
gollark: If you were designing a language specifically around time travel I guess you would want to split out the objective and subjective tenses. Hmm.
gollark: It's demonstrating that you can describe time travel fine without a 1000-page manual.
