SYMBOLES
La couronne honoraire des Raromatai :
The honorary crown of the Raromatai has been designed by Michael Good and the Michael Good atelier in Maine, USA, in collaboration with French jeweller B. Livrelli.
It is a tribute to the local traditional leaf head-wreaths and to the vegetation from Earth and Sea, displaying natural colours of the islands under the sunshine.
Crux – La Croix du Sud / La Croix d’Hins :
The pin worn by the honorary king or attached to the honorary crown is a complex symbol that represents both his Polynesian and Boiat origins :
-when the larger part is pointing down, it represents the Southern Cross (or Crux) and inspired by the shape of a Polynesian Headbreaker (club or U’u) and a paddle.
-when displayed with the larger part pointing up, its colour and form is made to recall the Croix des Marins of Arcachon, and its long part below, looking like a stake, creates also a representation of the Croix d’Hins of Marcheprime.
It has been created in Maine by jeweller Jacob Snow using personal items from Laurent’s family.
Signe “égal” – Equal sign :
To enhance the egalitarian vision driving the project of the honorary representation, and the constant search for supporting an inclusive, equal and equitable vision in our communities. Instead of representing a crown, the above line is transformed and adapts to the region of the various missions a specific work, presentation or announcement is linked to.
