Blason of Bahia Ancient (Portugal) - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

Design Overview

This decal features a faithful rendition of the "Blason of Bahia (ancient)," the historic coat of arms associated with the Portuguese Capitania of Bahia during the 16th and 17th centuries. The design is presented in a classic heraldic style, showcasing the visual elements within a defined shape.

Visual Elements & Symbolism

The central element is a round Portuguese shield, the traditional form used in Portuguese heraldry. The shield's field, or background, is silver (Argent), a color representing peace and sincerity. Dominating the shield's center is a white dove in flight, holding an olive branch in its beak.

The dove and olive branch are classical symbols of peace and reconciliation. This imagery was specifically chosen to represent the peaceful beginnings of the São Salvador da Bahia settlement under Portuguese rule, conveying the intended message through its visual presentation.

Historical and Artistic Context

This design is rooted in the armorial traditions of Portuguese colonial times, reflecting the era's heraldic conventions. The artwork adheres to the established visual language of heraldry, offering a glimpse into the symbolic world of the past. The design's origins can be traced to collections of “brasões” (coats of arms) for former Portuguese territories, specifically from the Armorial do Ultramar Português (Portuguese Overseas Armorial).

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
