Pogoń Litewska - is a coat of arms used in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Appearing in medieval Lithuanian heraldry, it was later used by several szlachta families in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, primarily by those of Gediminid origin. The present Lithuanian coat of arms (Vytis) as well as the coat of arms of Belarus before 1995 (Pahonia) are modern heraldic representation of historic Lithuanian symbol.
