* SUN: The Sun is a symbol of Sovereigns and Kings, those who with their power vivify the entire State; It is an emblem of Eternity, Greatness, Power, Providence, Illustrious Nobility and Magnificence.

* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.
