Welcome to the Pictave Heraldry Association.

Heraldry is a means of proclaiming ones individual or communal identity by means of ancient symbols, the origins of which date back more than eight centuries.

Coats of arms, badges, flags and other heraldic emblems are the signs of authority and ownership. They conjure up our history, our geography, our personality and our yearning for a rich symbol.

Heraldry is a language in which each symbol has a particular sense. Therefore when choosing a coat of arms we bring out the most important elements in our lives. In a world where our attention is drawn in all directions, heraldry maintains a constant value, being a unique form of art and mark of honour accessible to everyone.
