Summary

Description
English: Combined arms of the Tzigara and Samurcaș familes, as used by the Romanian art collector Alexandru Tzigara Samurcaș; display and tinctures as suggested by relief on his Bellu cemetery tombstone— see Tudor Radu-Tiron, "Cimitirul Bellu din București – un ansamblu de heraldică monumentală boierească (a doua jumătate a secolului XIX – prima jumătate a secolului XX)", in Monumentul (Lucrările Simpozionului Național Monumentul – Tradiție și viitor Ediția a VIII-a), 2007, p. 490. The main divisions of the field are formed by the Samurcaș family arms, bearing the canting sable (samur) and an eyebrow. These were described by Tzigara Samurcaș, who also rediscovered and marshaled the arms of his ancestor Zotos Tzigara, inescutcheon; this is recounted in Mihai Sorin Rădulescu, "Sur l'aristocratie roumaine de l'entre-deux-guerres", in The New Europe College Yearbook 1996-1997, New Europe College, Bucharest, 2000, pp. 343–344. ISBN 973-98624-4-6. The Tzigara arms also appear in Dan Cernovodeanu, Știința și arta heraldică în România, p. 425. Bucharest: Editura științifică și enciclopedică, 1977. The roses are not mentioned in these sources, but appear on the tombstone and, in an overall slightly different version of the Samurcaș arms, in Emanuel Hagi-Mosco, Steme boerești din România, Bucharest: Socec, 1918.
