Coat of arms of Belize (1981-2019) - Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

The Coat of Arms of Belize, adopted in 1981 and revised in 2019, is a heraldic design representing the country's national identity. The shield's main field features three stylized green leaves to represent the banana plant, the main agricultural export of Belize. Above the shield stands a black Mayan head, symbolizing the indigenous population and their rich cultural heritage. A red bat, the national animal of Belize, flies beneath the shield, representing vigilance and swift action. The motto "Sub Umbra Fluvii" (Under the shade of the river) is inscribed on a scroll below the design, reflecting the importance of the Sibun River to the Mayan civilization and the nation as a whole. The Coat of Arms serves as a symbol of Belize's history, culture, and national pride.
