Summary

This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia. The use of such symbols is restricted in many countries. These restrictions are independent of the copyright status.

This coat of arms was described and was licensed by right of the Constitution of the Republic of Venda in 1979. With the dissolution of the country in 1994, said constitution was revoked and is thus no longer valid.
