Coat of arms of Warsaw

The coat of arms of Warsaw consists of a ''syrenka'' ("little mermaid") in a red field. This imagery has been in use since at least the mid-14th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Warsaw Mermaid's Statue )〕 The syrenka has traditionally held a silver sword although this does not appear on more recent versions.
==History==
The first coat of arms of Warsaw depicted a dragon with a male human head, carrying a sword and a shield. The first known usage was on a seal from 1390. This is the oldest existing armed seal of Warsaw, consisting of a round seal bordered with the Latin inscription ''Sigilium Civitatis Varsoviensis'' (Seal of the city of Warsaw).〔 〕 Gradually the male head and body was replaced with that of a female, and by the end of 16th century the tail was also changed from that of a dragon to that of a fish. The only remaining parts of the original coat of arms are the sword and shield.
Beginning in the early 17th century Warsaw records associate a sword-wielding mermaid with the city.〔 〕 Since 1622, the Warsaw arms have been rendered as a mermaid with sword and shield in hand, representing Melusina from the River Vistula (Wisła), who in legend led Duke Bolesław II of Masovia (1262–1313) to the appropriate site (a fishing village) and ordered him to found the city, in about 1294. The origin of the legendary figure is not fully known.〔 〕 The city's motto is, appropriately, ''Contemnit procellas'' ("It defies the storms").
