Coat of arms of the Masovian Voivodeship

Coat of arms of the Masovian Voivodeship

The coat of arms of Masovian Voivodeship is a white eagle with a golden beak and talons, on a red background. The author of the project is Andrzej Heidrich. Adopted in 2002.

It is similar to the coat of arms of Poland, coat of arms used by Mazovian dukes from the Piast dynasty, and the one proposed for Warsaw Voivodeship (drawings were prepared by Zygmunt Lorec but never adopted).
