The eagle is richly feathered with visible shading and highlights.

The scene is framed below by a wreath made of an oak branch (right) and a laurel branch (left) tied at the base with a green-white-red ribbon. Arched above the emblem is the uppercase wordmark text "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS." The overall style is traditional, illustrative, and heraldic with flat color areas and modest shading detail.
