The
Royal Coat of Arms comprises a white shield with a drum, above as a crest, crossed elephant
tusks, with an upright spear superimposed overall, all white, with
black shading.
Behind the shield are two crossed spears in saltire, superimposed upon a black
mountain or hill. The
Supporters are two natives wearing maroon from the waist down with their
left & right arms
out stretched, hands touching.
Below the shield are maroon (or red) flowers with yellow stalks.
Motto, in black on a white ribbon "UNITY PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT"
There is a colour photo of H.H. Adhola, Moses Stephen Owor,
the first ever King of the Padhola, elected 19th September 1998 and
installed 7th August 1999. He was born in 1927.
Note: " Adhola " in this sense means "King".
The
Coat of Arms of the "Tieng Adhola" (The Adhola Union) which was
founded in 1937 is the same as that described above except the shield is maroon.
