Description

According to the Manual del Estado Español (Handbook of the Spanish State, Spanish text only) by Editorial Lama:

  • historical [meaning there is no known adoption date] banner [here meaning a hanging flag], "Pend�n morado, en forma especial al describir en la parte inferior una curva parecida a la cola de un gallo";
  • historical coat-of-arms [meaning there is no known adoption date]:
    Acuartelado, con dos campos de oro y dos de gules contrapuestos y orla de siete castillos dorados en campo de gules y siete leones rojos sobre plata. Sobre todo, en el centro, la imagen del Santo Rostro, en �valo de plata. Timbre de corona real Borb�nica.

Pascal Vagnat, 16 July 1999

"Purple banner with its bottom describing a shape similar to that of a rooster's tail."

António Martins, 16 July 1999

I guess the shape in question is what would heraldically be described as counterarched invecked, if you see what I mean.

Santiago Dotor, 20 July 1999

The original crown in the website, though similar to this, is not 3-D, but is nevertheless distorted and generally of poor quality.
