Brasão de armas do Reino de Portugal 1139 (Portugal) - Decal Design

This striking decal presents the original heraldic emblem of the Kingdom of Portugal, as it appeared in 1139, following the declaration of King Afonso I (Afonso Henriques). The design encapsulates the very essence of Portugal's founding and its early triumphs.

Visual Elements and Composition

The central element of the design is a white (silver) shield, a pristine canvas that holds the key to its symbolic meaning. Upon this field are five vivid blue shields, arranged in a distinctive cross formation. These blue shields, known as "quinas," are the heart of the Portuguese heraldic tradition.

Within each of the five blue shields, you'll find five silver bezants. These small, circular elements add depth and visual interest to the design, representing coins and embodying concepts like wealth and divine favor.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design speaks volumes about Portugal's origins. The five blue shields represent the victory over five Moorish kings, a testament to Portugal’s independence and military strength. The arrangement in a cross shape may further symbolize Christian faith and triumph.

The silver bezants within the blue shields signify wealth, possibly derived from tribute, or perhaps divine blessings bestowed upon the new kingdom. The choice of a white (silver) field reflects purity and honesty, qualities vital to the nascent nation.

This coat of arms is more than just a visual display; it's a powerful statement of sovereignty, a reminder of the historical foundations of Portugal, and a testament to the kingdom's early triumphs. It offers an eloquent visual representation of the birth of a nation.

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.
