Coat of Arms of Vilnius County Postcard

A historically inspired depiction of the Coat of Arms of Vilnius County (Vilniaus Apskritis), one of Lithuania’s key administrative regions. According to heraldic sources, the county uses a traditional Lithuanian emblem featuring a silver armored knight on horseback, known as the Vytis, set against a red field — a symbol deeply rooted in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania’s medieval identity. The knight rides a black horse, holding a silver spear with a golden lance, while a blue shield with a double golden cross hangs from his shoulder. The horse’s bridle, saddle, and harness are rendered in blue, with golden metal fittings, reflecting classic Lithuanian heraldic color symbolism. This emblem connects Vilnius County to the broader historical tradition of the Lithuanian state, where the mounted knight represents courage, vigilance, and the defense of the homeland. The design follows the standards established by Lithuanian heraldic authorities and is widely used in regional identity, cultural materials, and official symbolism. Perfect for heraldic prints, Baltic history collections, educational materials, and designs celebrating Lithuanian regional heritage.
