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
