ShieldBarry of ten sable and or, a crancelin vert

The coat of arms of the present-day German free state of Saxony shows a tenfold horizontally-partitioned (Barry of ten) field of black (sable) and gold/yellow (or) stripes, charged with a green (vert) crancelin (a stylized common rue) running from the viewer's top-left to bottom-right (in bend). Although the crancelin is sometimes shown bent (embowed) like a crown, this is due to artistic license. The coat of arms is also displayed on the state flag of Saxony.

The Coat of Arms of Liechtenstein includes the similar arms of the Kuenring family. It has no connection to the arms of Saxony.
