SIGILII ALE SATULUI BUDINȚ, COMITATUL TIMIȘ (SECOLELE XVIII-XX)
SEALS OF BUDINȚ VILLAGE, TIMIȘ COUNTY (18th-20th CENTURIES)

Summary/Abstract: In this article, five seals of the village of Budinț (today Ictar-Budinț), Timiș county (18th-20th centuries) are described. The first seal presented is of heraldic type, with symbols related to grain culture (wheat sheaf) and various agricultural tools in the shield. The second seal has the same symbol (the sheaf of wheat) in its emblem, but flanked by symbols representing tools: the rake, the sickle, the scythe, the coulter and the ploughshare. The images in the emblem of the first two seals speak plastically about the tilling of the earth (with the coulter and the ploughshare), the cultivation of cereals (the sheaf of wheat), the work tools (the scythe, the sickle, the rake, etc.), a fact that includes them in the category of local historical testimonies valuable. The next three described seals are without emblem, their seal field being replaced by the text of the legend that refers to the name of the town and the county of Timiș.
