Royal Coat of Arms on the Vasa

89
This wooden relief (c. 1620) displays the royal coat of arms of King Gustavus Adolphus, flanked by crowned lions. Positioned at the stern of the Vasa warship, it asserted monarchical authority and Sweden’s naval ambitions. The sculpture signified the divine right of kings, projecting power across sea and land.
