A Final Coat of Arms of an Archbishop

This will be the final coat of arms of an Archbishop of Salzburg, but it is, I think, pretty special. (Or at least, unusual.)

No, not the inscribed plaque on this tower; the painted coats of arms at the top of the photograph. (You will probably want to click on the image above to see the full-size photograph where you can zoom in to see these arms more clearly.)

As in some other instances of combining the arms of the Archdiocese with the personal arms of the Archbishop, the shield on the left (heraldic dexter) is the arms of the Archdiocese of Salzburg: Per pale: dexter, Or a lion rampant sable; sinister, Gules a fess argent (Austria).

The shield on the right (heraldic sinister) is the family arms of Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg 1469-1540 (Archbishop of Salzburg 1519-1540) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matth%C3%A4us_Lang_von_Wellenburg). These arms are blazoned: Argent a quatrefoil gules dimidiating Gules a fleur-de-lis argent.

The family arms are somewhat unusual, and yet they fully serve one of the most basic needs of heraldry; they are clear and easy to identify! Even using the "postage stamp" test I first heard from former State Herald of South Africa Frederick Brownell (shrink a coat of arms to the size of a postage stamp and see if it is still clear and identifiable), this coat of arms passes. (I am tempted to say "passes with flying colors", but I will refrain. Espcially given that there are only two colors on the shield!)

In any event, as a "last stop" for displays of the arms of Archbishops of Salzburg, Austria, I think it makes a nice example.
