This colorful shield features the heraldic cross, today recognized as a symbol of Occitania. Available in several vibrant colors, this decorative piece is not frost-proof.

The Occitan cross was first used by the Counts of Forcalquier in their coat of arms in the 12th century (in modern Provence), and later by the Counts of Toulouse as Marquises of Provence on 13th-century coins and seals. Over time, it spread throughout the regions of Occitania, Provence, Guyenne, Gascony, Dauphiné, Auvergne, and Limousin.
