Fourteen variations of the Odrowaz coat of arms |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
Odrowaz
I (Odrzywas). - In a red field - a silver arrow
pointed upwards with the bottom part having two curled parts. - Over the crowned helmet -
on the peacock feathers, the arrow device is repeated laying on its side. One of the oldest Polish coats-of-arms (one of
the first 10). In early court records, the first recorded use of the coat-of-arms was in
1423. Records show that it was used as far back as 1380. |
|
|
 |
Odrowaz II. - On the
crowned helmet are three ostrich feathers. Lukasz
Zaranowski used this variation in the Witebsk province in the XVII century. |

VIII. - The seal of Mikolaj
Strasz from Bialaczew, County Judge of Krakow, 1480. Also used by: Jan Odrowaz from
Sprowa, Governor of Rus and Sheriff of Podole, 1480; Stanislaw from Chodczy, Marshal of
the Crown and Sheriff of Rus, Lwow and Lubaczow provinces, 1504; Jakob Dembinski,
Castellan of Radom, 1484; Stanislaw Szydlowiecki, Castellan of Radom, 1485; Jakob

Odrowaz
IX. - The seal of Jakob from Debno or Winnej Gory (de monte vini), 1352. The
arrow head is replaced by a cross. There can be doubt as to if this is an Odrowaz, writes
Dr. Piekosinski, whether this is the same Jakob, named on the seal from Winnejgory (de
Montevini). In documents he signes himself from Debno. At this time Debno belonged to the
Odrowaz family. So therefore, there can be no doubt that this Jakob Debinski belonged to
the Odrowaz family and that this seal represents a variation of the Odrowaz coat-of-arms. |
