kurdistan emblem

Coat of arms of Kurdistan Regional Government. The Coat of arms of the Kurdistan Regional Government is an eagle holding a sun on his wings. The sun is formed of the three colours of red, yellow and green which represent the Kurdish flag. In the later version of the warms, the words "Kurdistan Regional Government" are written on it in the Kurdish, Arabic and English languages (top to bottom). The coat of arms of the Kurdistan regional government draws on both modern and ancient symbolism: the eagle itself was the emblem of the ancient Median Empire, whereas the sun has been in use as a symbolic representation of northern Mesopotamia (Kurdistan) in numerous ancient motiffs dating from the early Hurrian period. The banner emblazoned with "KRG" is a more modern borrowing from Western European heraldry.
