About Coat of arms of Nigeria

A traditional heraldic composition: a central black shield bearing a prominent white, wavy Y-shaped pall. Above the shield sits a red eagle with outstretched wings perched on a twisted wreath of green and white. The shield is flanked on both sides by two rearing white horses standing on a green grassy mound sprinkled with small red flowers.

Beneath the mound is a gold scroll ribbon carrying an uppercase motto. The image uses bold flat colours and clear outlines typical of a national coat of arms, with figurative animal supporters and floral/torse details.
