A red ornamental band runs down the hoist edge, the side nearest the flagpole, and anchors the composition. The coat of arms sits centrally, rendered in flat vector shapes with a brown bear, a gold crown, and a heraldic shield. Small touches of blue and gold pick out the crest, so the palette stays limited to four colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach element carries a specific meaning. The bear represents the Mari people, who are known as the “forest men.” The sword and hammer stand for industriousness and the readiness to defend the community. The shield displays the Mari cross, and the crown above the bear signifies nationhood. The red band at the hoist recalls the traditional Finnic culture of the Mari. The standard was designed by Andrey Sannikov and adopted on June 1, 2011, so it reads today as a settled emblem of regional heritage and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShown on a Mug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand while you drink, so the emblem moves past the eye with every sip. The crest sits in the middle of the print, where it stays in view on the side you face most often. The white field gives the bear and the crown room to stand out, which suits a piece you reach for every morning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":51736989630744,"sku":"30096894380632932858","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":51736989663512,"sku":"22375260663664451355","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/standard-of-the-head-of-the-mari-el-republic-russia-white-coffee-mug-11oz-position1.webp?v=1772539435","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/standard-of-the-head-of-the-mari-el-republic-russia-white-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
