Coat of arms of Kenya
The coat of arms of Kenya features two lions holding Maasai spears and a shield. The shield contains the national colours, of which:
- Black represents the native people of Kenya
- Green the agriculture and natural resources
- Red the struggle for freedom
- White for unity and peace.
The middle red strip bears a rooster holding an axe, which according to local customs, denotes a new and prosperous life.
The shield and lions stand on a silhouette of Mount Kenya containing in the foreground examples of Kenya agricultural produce - coffee, pyrethrum, sisal, tea, maize and pineapples.
The coat of arms is supported by a scroll upon which is written the word 'harambee'.
