The top part features a white (silver) eagle with long outstretched wings. It wears a yellow (golden) crown on its head, and has yellow (golden) beak, eye, and legs. On each of its wings, there is a yellow (golden) upwards-curved bar, stretched from its chest to the end of its wings, ended in a trefoil.[1] It is based on an eagle used as the symbol of Poland, during the rule of Władysław II Jagiełło, who was the king of Poland from 1386 to 1434.[4]

Шаблон:Multiple image The bottom part of the coat of arms is divided vertically into two fields. The left field features the Lamb of God, in a form of a white (silver) sheep with a yellow (golden) circular aureola with a red cross within it, behind its head. In its front right hove, it holds a yellow (golden) cross with a white (silver) banner with red cross on it, attached to it. It bleeds from its chest, with the red drops of blood falling towards a yellow (golden) chalice placed in front of it, between its legs.[1] It is based on the coat of arms of the historical region of Warmia, more precisely the Prince-Bishopric of Warmia, and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Warmia, with the Lamb of God being one of the regional symbols since the 14th century.[5][6]

The right bottom field features a black eagle with risen wings, and its head turned to its right. It wears a yellow (golden) crown on its neck, and has a yellow (golden) beak and legs, and a white eye. On its chest it has a yellow (golden) capital letter S on its chest, which refers to Sigismund I the Old, king of Poland from 1506 to 1548. On each of its wings, there is a yellow (golden) upwards-curved bar, stretched from its chest to the end of its wings, ended in a trefoil. The eagle is based on the coat of arms of the Duchy of Prussia which existed from 1525 to 1657. King Sigismund I the Old had established said design in the 16th century.[1][7] It is sometimes attributed to the historical region of Masuria.
