Above the shield rises a helmeted crest with a hand grasping two crossed pieces of sugar cane. Below, a flowing scroll banner bears the national motto PRIDE AND INDUSTRY. The country name BARBADOS arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1994 inscribed at the bottom, all within a beaded border. |
