Encyclopedia > Coat of arms of Namibia

The Coat of Arms of Namibia is full of national symbols. There is a shield with the national flag depicted on it. On top of the shield is an African Fish Eagle. Flanking the shield are two Oryx antelope on either side, representing courage, elegance and pride. Below the shield is an example of local desert flora, Welwitschia Mirabilis, symbolic of survival and national fortitude. Below that is the national motto: Unity, Liberty, Justice.
