GOTLAND
Official blazon
I blått fält en stående vädur av silver med beväring av guld, bärande på en korsprydd stång av guld ett rött baner med bård och fem flikar av guld.
Origin/meaning
The arms with the Agnus Dei were already used on the seal of the island in 1280. Ever since the lamb has been the symbol for the island and its capital, Visby.
The arms were adopted as provincial arms when Gotland became Swedish in 1645. They are also use by the Region Gotland municipality.
