Botswana National Coat of Arms - Symbolism and Meaning #3802001 (License: Personal Use)

The emblem displays two rearing chestnut horses flanking a central shield bearing a blue crocodile-symbolizing the importance of water and wildlife. Above the shield are three traditional symbols: an arrow (defense), a spear (protection), and a knobkerrie (authority), with a tusked elephant tail atop. The motto “Khotso • Pula • Nala” (Peace • Rain • Prosperity) appears on a ribbon below, set on green ground with scattered red stones representing mineral wealth.
