Ciołek (Polish for "Bullock") is a Polish coat of arms, one of the oldest in medieval Poland (Jardetzky 1992, Gajl 2003:47). It was used by many szlachta (noble) families under the late Piast Dynasty, under the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, during the Partitions of Poland, and in the 20th century. The variant names "Siolek" and "Cialek" arose from miscommunication among early-20th-century Polish immigrants to the United States.

A history of this Coat of Arms is included in a Short History of Polish Arms written by Countess Ewa Theresa Korab-Karpinska in the late 1980's and is currently lodged at the College of Arms in London. As heraldic heiress and daughter of Tadeuz( Thadeus) Countess Ewa was also one of a very small handful of women to write upon the subject of heraldry. The bull and crown were later exceptionally incorporated as a crest into an English Grant of Arms by the English College of Arms and are now used by Edward (Eduoard) Aleksander Lucas-Gardiner great grandson of Edward Get-Getynski ( born Gott) [1] and grandson of Tadeuz (Thadeus) Zielinski ( Zelenski) . No other legal usage of these arms or their variation is currently known. [2]
