National emblem
The national emblem of Indonesia consists of Garuda holding a banner and with an escutcheon on its chest. The Garuda (a mythical bird) has its wings spread and is facing right. The number of the feathers are: 17 (wings), 8 (tail), 19 (tail base) and 45 (neck) form the date of the day of independence August 17th, 1945. The escutcheon is decorated with 5 sections. The inner section shows a five-pointed star, each point representing a religion or ideology: Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and socialism. The single star represents the believe in one single, supreme God. The top right shows a banteng's head (bull) representing democracy. The top left shows a banyan tree representing the many peoples and cultures which are unified by the Republic. The lower left shows a chain of round (women) and square (men) chains representing the succeeding generations. The lower right section shows a gold-and-white paddy and cotton representing sustenance and livelihood. All sections are based on a principle of the Pancasila. Between the top and lower sections a thicker line runs and represents the equator running through the country. The claws of the Garuda hold a banner with the national motto "BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA", which can be loosely translated as "Unity in Diversity".
