Object history
English: Coat of arms on the Danish city Maribo. Based on the seal of the Brigittine convent around which the city grew and who controlled the city in medieval times. The female figure was previously rendered and interpreted as a young maiden, likely alluding to the virgin Mary to whom the convent was dedicated and who gave name to the convent as well as the city. However at the turn of the 20th century the figure was changed to a Brigittine sister to commemorate the city's founding as connected to the convent.
Dansk: Maribos byvåben. Baseret på segl tilhørende det store Birgittinerkloster, som byen blev grundlagt og kontrolleret af i middelalderen. Kvindefiguren blev tidligere tolket og fremstillet som jomfru Maria, som byen er navngivet efter og klosteret er viet til. Ved det 20. århundredes begyndelse ændredes våbnet dog til at vise en Birgittinernonne, for at markere byens oprindelse som tilknyttet klosteret.
