AdoptedIt is certain that since 1397, the Gediminids' Pillars were Vytautas the Great's coat of arms.

The Columns of Gediminas or Pillars of Gediminas (Lithuanian: Gediminaičių stulpai, lit.'Pillars of the Gediminids'; Belarusian: Калюмны, romanized: Kaliumny, 'Columns') are one of the earliest symbols of Lithuania and its historical coats of arms.[1] They were used in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, initially as a rulers' personal insignia, a state symbol, and later as a part of heraldic signs of leading aristocracy.[1]
