Persian / Tajik symbols

Open karlwilcox opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

As suggested by a correspondent:

I have noticed that there are no Persian/Tajik heraldry creatures, shields, symbols. I have come across other crest/heraldic generator websites that have some Persian symbols/shields however your website which enables coding instructions for the blazon is the best and very powerful.

Would it be possible if you can kindly add the following:

  • Persian Shield (Achaemenid period) to the shapes https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/363243526172680855/ https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/608056387161474881/

  • Faravahar Symbol https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Faravahar.svg https://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/other/crystalinks/faravahar.html

  • Shahbaz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahbaz_(bird)

  • Huma Bird https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huma_bird https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/29062360065302809/

  • Simurg (Persian Phoenix) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simurgh

  • Derafsh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derafsh_Kaviani

  • Persian Immortal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortals_(Achaemenid_Empire)

  • Persian Cataphract https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataphract

  • Persian Knight https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Aswaran

  • Qizilbash https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qizilbash

  • Persian Zamburak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamburak

As for Lion and Sun symbol, it can be done with Create Blazon function, however since I am learning I am struggling with placing the sun behind the lion neatly!

I also noticed that in heraldry Leopard and Lion are the same, also Tiger and Panther don't look the same as real animals and are more mythical in appearance! I really would have liked if there were Asiatic Cheetah, Persian Leopard, Caspian Tiger, Persian Onager.

I also realized that there are no Muskets (weapons)!

Keep up the good work.
