About Kenya Coat of arms

Centered is a large traditional heraldic shield divided into three horizontal fields: black (top), red (middle) with thin white edging, and green (bottom). Superimposed on the red band is a white rooster (cockerel) shown in profile holding a small axe. Two upright spears cross behind the shield. Flanking the shield are two rampant golden lions, each standing on hind legs and touching the shield with a forepaw.

Beneath the shield is a low grassy compartment with stylised plants and flowers and a brown ribbon banner bearing the word "HARAMBEE" in uppercase. The overall style is detailed, traditional heraldry with naturalistic animal figures and flag-like colours on the shield.
