The Great Coat of Arms of the Republic of Latvia.
The shield on the herald is divided into segments – half of a golden rising sun against a blue background is seen in one section, a red lion against a silver background to represent Kurzeme and Zemgale in the second, and a silver griffon with a blue tongue and a silver sword clutched in its right paw to represent Vidzeme and Latgale. Above the shield are three golden stars. The shield is held by a red lion with a golden tongue on the right and a silver griffon with a golden tongue on the left. They are supported by green oak branches with a red-white-red ribbon that has the proportions of the Latvian state flag.
