 The eagle at the end of the flagpole had its wings facing downward, had the princely crown on its head and carried a sceptre in its right hand and a sword in its left; all were made of gold.A shield was carved into the eagle's breast, with the Wallachian eagle in the first half and the Moldavian aurochs’ head in the second.Above the sword and sceptre a ribbon passed bearing the inscription "Honor et Patria".
