National Coat of Arms of Mauritius - Symbolism and History #3488675 (License: Personal Use)

The coat of arms displays a red dodo on the left and a red deer on the right, both supporting a shield divided into four quarters: a golden ship on blue (colonial maritime history), three green palm trees on yellow (tropical flora), a red key on yellow (strategic importance), and a white star on blue (island in the Indian Ocean). Above the shield rise two green sugar cane stalks, symbolizing the nation’s historic sugar industry. The Latin motto “Stella Clavisque Maris Indici” translates to “Star and Key of the Indian Ocean.”
