The | The emblem of Kuwait was adopted in 1962 and it consists of the shield of the flag design in color superimposed on a golden falcon with wings displayed. The falcon supports a disk containing a boom sailing ship, a type of dhow, with the full name of the state written (in Arabic) at the top of the disk. | ||
The dhow is a symbol of the maritime tradition of the country and is also found in the national coats of arms of [[Qatar]]. The falcon is a symbol of the Banu Quraish line, to which the prophet Muhammad belonged and is likewise found in many coats of arms of the Arabian Peninsula. | The dhow is a symbol of the maritime tradition of the country and is also found in the national coats of arms of [[Qatar]].
