About Escudo Nacional Mexicano

A monochrome black silhouette of Mexico's national coat of arms: a stylised eagle perched on a clustered prickly-pear cactus, holding a snake in its beak and talon. The eagle is shown in profile with wings partly spread and sits on a rocky base formed by the cactus pads.

Surrounding the lower half of the central motif is a curved wreath made of two branches (one laurel-like, one oak-like) that meet at the base. The image is a flat, high-contrast silhouette on a white background with no text or color detail.
