Coat of arms of Burkina Faso - Tumbler 20oz

The Coat of Arms of Burkina Faso is the official heraldic symbol representing the national identity of this West African country. Adopted upon independence from France in 1960, it consists of a shield divided into three parts. The central part depicts a gold star (representing the African continent) on a green field, symbolizing hope and prosperity. The left half displays a gold eagle with outstretched wings, signifying freedom, while the right half presents a sheaf of ears of grain bound with a ribbon bearing the national colors. The motto 'Unité, Travail, Progrès' (meaning 'Unity, Work, Progress') is written in French along the base of the shield. The whole emblem is encircled by a wreath made up of cotton and kola nuts, symbolizing agriculture and unity among different ethnic groups within Burkina Faso. The current design was established on October 5, 1984, following a series of political changes in the country. The Coat of Arms serves as an emblem of national pride and identity for Burkina Faso.
