Iceland Coat of Arms
The coat of arms of Iceland displays a silver-edged, red cross on blue shield on a cross argent a cross. This alludes to the design of the flag of Iceland. The supporters are the four protectors of Iceland standing on a lava block. The bull is the protector of southwestern Iceland, the eagle or griffin protects northwestern Iceland, the dragon protects the northeastern part, and the rock-giant is the protector of southeastern Iceland. Great respect was given to these creatures of Iceland, so much that there was a law during the time of the Vikings that no ship should bear grimacing symbols when approaching Iceland. This was so the protectors would not be provoked unnecessarily.
