Papal Coat of Arms

A distinguished depiction of a Papal Coat of Arms, prominently featuring the traditional symbols of the Holy See. Atop the shield rests the magnificent Papal Tiara, a golden triple crown symbolizing the Pope's threefold authority as supreme pastor, supreme teacher, and supreme priest. Behind the shield, the crossed Keys of Saint Peter are visible – one gold, representing spiritual power, and one silver, representing temporal power, bound together by a red cord. The shield itself is divided, showcasing unique heraldic elements. On the viewer's left side, a golden field with a red bull standing on a green mound, bordered by green leaves, signifies elements reminiscent of the Borgia family's arms. The right side displays a pattern of alternating gold and black horizontal stripes. This composite design represents the personal heritage of a Pontiff combined with the universal symbols of the Papacy.
