Pičín Coat of Arms

My parents just returned from Picin in the Czech Republic and brought me back a decal of the town's emblem. I have scanned it below for you. In this image the green "hair" appears to be a crown of leaves (seaweed?) as well as the loincloth. In this image the "old man of the sea" detail can be seen. Unfortunately the seafaring symbolism remains a mystery since the town's commerce is agriculture and mining.
