  • THE LION FLAG Norway's First National Flag Jan Henrik Munksgaard
    THE LION FLAG Norway’s First National Flag Jan Henrik Munksgaard On 27 February 1814, the Norwegian Regent Christian Frederik made a proclamation concerning the Norwegian flag, stating: The Norwegian flag shall henceforth be red, with a white cross dividing the flag into quarters. The national coat of arms, the Norwegian lion with the yellow halberd, shall be placed in the upper hoist corner. All naval and merchant vessels shall fly this flag. This was Norway’s first national flag. What was the background for this proclamation? Why should Norway have a new flag in 1814, and what are the reasons for the design and colours of this flag? The Dannebrog Was the Flag of Denmark-Norway For several hundred years, Denmark-Norway had been in a legislative union. Denmark was the leading party in this union, and Copenhagen was the administrative centre of the double monarchy. The Dannebrog had been the common flag of the whole realm since the beginning of the 16th century. The red flag with a white cross was known all over Europe, and in every shipping town the citizens were familiar with this symbol of Denmark-Norway. Two variants of The Dannebrog existed: a swallow-tailed flag, which was the king’s flag or state flag flown on government vessels and buildings, and a rectangular flag for private use on ordinary merchant ships or on private flagpoles. In addition, a number of special flags based on the Dannebrog existed. The flag was as frequently used and just as popular in Norway as in Denmark. The Napoleonic Wars Result in Political Changes in Scandinavia At the beginning of 1813, few Norwegians could imagine dissolution of the union with Denmark.

    SOUTH AFRICA YEARBOOK 2013/14 The Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) con- tinues to make signifi cant strides in positioning Arts and the cultural and creative industries as one of the main drivers of economic growth and job crea- tion in South Africa. The success of the arts and culture sector is also reliant on effective governance, infra- Culture structure and skills development, partnerships, research, sharing of information and enterprise development. In this context, the department is committed to supporting a number of emergent shifts in the arts, culture and heritage sector over the next fi ve years. These shifts have the potential to increase the growth and development of the sector signifi cantly. They include addressing a number of inade- quacies in the policy and regulatory environment to strengthen governance in the sector, increase investment and improve information and sta- tistics for more effective planning and decision - making. The DAC is strengthening co - operation with a range of public and private sector institu- tions and stakeholders. The development and implementation of the Mzansi Golden Economy Strategy is an example of how to mobilise the resources of all stakeholders in the sector. Measures to promote the arts include: • providing fi nancial, as well as information and communication technology support to artists to enable the creation of works expressing national creativity, while opening space for vibrant debate • strengthening the Independent Communica- tions Authority of South Africa’s mandate for nation - building and value inculcation • incentivising commercial distribution networks to distribute and/or host art • developing and implementing plans for a more effective arts and culture curriculum in schools with appropriate educator support • supporting income-smoothing for artists in a special unemployment insurance scheme and evaluating funding models for such initiatives • developing sectoral determination legislation frameworks to protect arts-sector employees.

  • Tsar of All Russia. Holiness and Splendour of Power Audio Tour Script
    The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Tsar of All Russia. Holiness and Splendour of Power Audio Tour Script Pair of ambassadorial axes The axes with wootz steel heads are richly damascened in gold. The centre of the composition is an image of the Russian coat of arms — a double-headed eagle beneath three crowns. On the eagle’s chest is a heraldic shield depicting a rider spearing a fantastic serpent on one side of the axe and the picture of a unicorn on the other side. Besides the national coat of arms, the axes are damascened in gold with small figures of lions which are artistically unique among Russian weaponry. The handles of the axes are coated all over in silver — embossed, gilded and soldered from twisted wire. Turquoise has been inserted into the rounded ends. The steel tips of the axes appear to have been forged and decorated by the finest craftsmen of the Kremlin Armoury, while the silver settings were the work of the leading court silversmiths. The Moscow Kremlin Museums own a total of four such axes. In the 17th century, they served as the weapons of a rynda — the tsar’s ceremonial bodyguard. The objects were called ‘ambassadorial axes’ because bodyguards wielding these weapons were invariably present when the tsar met with foreign diplomats in the Kremlin Palace. During these audiences, four men dressed in tall hats and white kaftans with gold chains crossed over their chests would stand at each corner of the tsar’s throne, resting axes like these on their shoulders. .
