    Description

    2009. Belarus. Municipal Arms of Belarus Towns. Smorgon. Stamp. MNH
    A municipal arms of Smorgon represents the image of black bear standing on its hind paws on the red grating against the silver ground of a Spanish shield. The bear holds the coat of arms of Radziwills in its fore paws — on the blue ground there are 3 black hunting horns joint by mouth-pieces in the centre.
    In the 17th century Smorgon was a private property of the princes of Radziwill who founded the so-called “Smorgon academy” for the training of bears. A bear was put into a cage over a fire. On a hot grating the bear stood on its hind paws and began to dance. This scene was taken as the subject of the municipal arms of Smorgon.
