Rendition of arms
by Andrew S. Jamieson
The Spanish Blasón for these arms is: Partido de azur y gules, y sobre el
todo un castillo de oro de dos torres, surmontado un búho del mismo metal
con las alas desplegadas, cargando sobre su pecho una pera de azur; bordura
componada de veintidós piezas de oro y gules, cargadas estas ultimas de un
copihue floreciente, de oro. Timbre: yelmo antiguo de hidalgo, de acero
bruñido, sumado de un burelete gules y oro, de donde asoman tres plumas de
avestruz de los colores rojo, oro y azur, respectivamente. Lambrequines:
gules y oro.
The armiger chose to represent elements of the ancestral origins of the
Perez-Ramirez family in Asturias Spain, as well as elements allegoric of
Cataluna and Chile. Asturias, the land of the Armiger's paternal
grandparents is represented by the Azure, the colour of the flag of Asturias
and the pear symbolising the patronymic name Perez. Gules was chosen to
represent strength and courage. The twin towered castle represents the
Catalan last name Castells for the armiger's wife's maiden name and is also a
source of strength. The bordure compony Gules and Or is allegoric of the
Catalan flag. On each Gules of the compony, the national flower of Chile
depicted Or, ("The Copihue"), symbolises the armiger's birth place. The owl
in the centre of the shield represents Wisdom and Knowledge.
The armiger was born in Valdivia, Chile in 1960 to Jose Esteban Perez
Ramirez (b 1912, Valdivia, Chile) and Maria Rosenda Ramirez Vasquez (b 1936,
San Carlos, Chile).
