| The
Coat of Arms |
|
|
The crown symbolizes the system of monarchy.
The sash upon which the crown is placed symbolizes the Hashemite
throne. Its scarlet color represents sacrifice, while the white
inner background symbolizes purity. The two flags are the flags
of the Great Arab Revolt. The eagle in the center of the coat
of arms symbolizes power, might and loftiness. The eagle is
perched on the globe, and his wings touch the two flags of the
Great Arab Revolt. The blue color of the globe symbolizes the
spread of Islam across the world. The bronze shield in front
of the globe represents the defense of truth and right in the
world. The spears, swords, bows and arrows are traditional Arab
weapons. Below the shield to the left are three branches of
wheat, and to the right is a palm branch. Stretching down from
between the wheat and palm branches is the highest Jordanian
medal, the decorative order of al-Nahda.
