Pernus coat of arms

Pernus (Spir, rus=Спир, ger=Kippenhan) Silesian coat of arms from the 13th century by Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, from ca. 1442 in Poland. In 1589 Paweł (Paul) Pernus, vogt of the Royal Court received indygenat (grant), of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Blazon

Azure, three Gules-Or pears with Vert leaves facing upwards on an argent band falling diagonally. Argent rooster head, Or beaked with Gules comb and wattles in the Crest. Azure, argent backed mantling.

The Polish historian Józef Szymański reports after the heralder Zygmunt Wdowiszewski an alternative version, where the pears are Or completely and the leaves Gules-Or.

The tinctures (colors) are: Azure = blue; Gules = red; Sable = black; Or = gold; Argent = silver; Vert = green.
In heraldry all charges (pictures) on a shield are assumed to be facing dexter (right side).
