| The oak trees symbolize
the Orbeta Family who owned the Coat of Arms.
The two wolves standing on its hind legs with its paws raised on the left tree represents the victorious defense of the castle from the enemies. On the right, beside the tree are 3 baby lions representing, probably the 3 bold male heirs of the Family. The kettle hanging from the tree is a sign that the Family was generous in giving alms (food) to the poor. |
