Coat of arms of Ringsaker
Ringsaker’s municipal arms feature a moose. The municipality says the motif was inspired by moose rock carvings found at Stein farm in Moelv.
Swedish description in the Heraldica record SV
The machine-assembled arms description in the Heraldica registry is kept separate from Ringsaker Municipality’s information about the motif and its history. The municipal page discusses the moose motif, but it is not presented here as confirmation of the registry wording or as a new official blazon.
I rött fält en stående älg av silver.
The moose as an arms motif
Ringsaker Municipality’s visual identity page says that a moose appears on the municipal arms. This describes the motif as the municipality identifies it; it does not specify the exact rendering of the artwork or alter the registry’s separate wording.
The rock carvings and the arms’ history
The municipality says the inspiration came from moose rock carvings found at Stein farm in Moelv. Arne Løvstad, who was from Moelv, designed the arms, which were approved by royal resolution on 1 February 1985. These historical details come from the municipality’s own website.
