ELSENE - IXELLES
Province : Stadsgewest Brussel / Région Bruxelles
| Dutch | In zilver een els van natuurlijke kleur |
| French | D'argent à un aune au naturel |
| English | Argent, an alder tree proper |
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on February 17, 1888.
The arms show a canting alder tree (Els in Dutch). Elsene became a separate council only in 1813, thus no historical arms or seals existed, hence the choice for a canting element.
The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930
