Inquisición Española (Costa Rica) - Coat of Arms - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This decal presents the iconic Coat of Arms of the Spanish Inquisition, a potent symbol of religious and political authority during the colonial era in Costa Rica and throughout Spanish America.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central element of the design is a prominent Latin Cross, representing the Christian faith that served as the foundation for the Inquisition's actions. Overlaid upon the cross are key symbolic elements.

A sword is depicted, signifying the secular power and legal authority wielded by the Tribunal of the Holy Office. This blade represents the enforcement of religious doctrine and the suppression of perceived heresy.

A branch of olive, a symbol of peace and reconciliation, is also included, offering a contrasting element within the design. Despite the Inquisition's often-severe methods, this symbolizes the hope for repentance and reconciliation within the framework of religious law.

The design includes a Latin inscription "EXURGE DOMINE ET JUDICA CAUSAM TUAM. PSALM. 73," (Levántate, Señor, y defiende tu causa. Salmo 73). This quote from the Psalms emphasizes the Tribunal's belief in its divine mission to uphold religious orthodoxy.

This kiss-cut decal offers a detailed representation of this historical emblem, allowing the intricate details of the shield to be appreciated.

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.
