This t-shirt features a striking representation of the Lesser Coat of Arms of the King of Rwanda, a historical emblem of the Rwandan monarchy from 1959 to 1962. The design centers on the visual elements of this significant symbol.
Shield and Cultural Heritage
At the heart of the design lies a Bantu-style shield, rendered in a vibrant azure blue. This color and shape pay homage to the traditional heritage of the Rwandan kingdom, grounding the artwork in its cultural origins.
Central Emblem of Unity
Positioned prominently within the shield is a golden drum, known as the Inanga. This significant cultural artifact serves as the central motif, representing the unity and shared heritage of the Rwandan people. Its inclusion underscores the importance of history and tradition within the design.
