Description: "Per pale: I. in blue a silver cross-banner with red declining
cross; II. In silver a black letter W with in chief and in base a green
clover".
The cross-banner is for Agnus Dei, the Lamb of God, associated with
Saint John the Baptist, patron saint of Raard. The capital W and the clovers
are from the arms of the van Kleffens family, with reversed colors. The
former cabinet minister E. N. van Kleffens (1894-1982) had close connections
with Raard - he owned the farm named Kleffens, and his ancestors lived
there for a long time. Kleffens was an old neighbourhood between Raard
and Lichtaard on the border between Dongeradeel and Ferwerderadiel, of
which only the mound "Kleffens-Raard" remains, and my uncle's farm.
