Origin/meaning
I have no information on the origin or meaning of these arms. Any information is welcome.
Colonial arms
During colonial times the city used rather different arms. Initially the adopted as arms the Panataran temple, a temple complex that has been buried several times by ash from the nearby Kelud (Kloet) volcano. It was chosen also as a symbol for the resurrection of the town. The council also used a mural crown and two lion supporters as well as the motto Labor Improbus Omnia Vincit (Labour conquers all).
The Dutch Court of Arms did not agree with the design and finally the arms below were granted. The temple and the mountain were now separated and the mural crown was replaced by the crown of all cities in the Dutch East Indies at the time.
