About Jata Selangor

A vertical, heraldic-style crest composed of bright red and yellow elements on a black field. At the top is a slender red pinnacle; beneath it sits a yellow crescent cradling a five-pointed star. Centered is an ornate, interwoven yellow calligraphic form (Jawi-style) flanked by two red traditional daggers (kris) angled outward. Below the central emblem is a curved red ribbon bearing Jawi script and, under that, a yellow scroll-shaped banner with the word "SELANGOR" in black.

The composition is symmetrical and ornamental, using strong contrasts of red and yellow against black. The design mixes figural symbols (crescent, star, kris) with decorative calligraphy and double banners, producing a compact state/ceremonial seal appearance.
