Fleur-de-lis is translated from French as "lily flower". Fleur-de-lis have appeared in artwork from the earliest civilizations. It is found on potteries, textiles, coins, clothes, emblems, and totems from around the world. Experts who have discussed the topic agree that it has little to do graphically with the lily, but disagree on whether it an arrowhead, a double axe, or even a dove, or a pigeon. It has often been used as a royal symbol, although different cultures have interpreted its meaning in various ways.
