A great deal of symbolism runs through the Garuda. Indonesia’s official coat of arms is centered on the Garuda, an ancient, mythical bird from the country’s historical epics. The Garuda is often used to represent Indonesia. The eagle is a symbol of creative energy. Its principal color, gold, symbolizes the greatness of the nation. The black color represents nature.
There are 17 feathers on each wing, 8 on the tail, and 45 on the neck. These numbers stand for the date Indonesia proclaimed its independence: 17 August 1945. The shield symbolizes self-defense and protection in the struggle. The five symbols on the shield represent the state philosophy of Pancasila. The motto Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (“Unity in Diversity”) is enshrined on a banner held in the eagle’s talons, signifying the unity of the Indonesian people despite their diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
