  1. The trident (tryzub) is the official coat of arms of Ukraine, one of the three national symbols alongside the flag and anthem. The trident has been used in the territory of Ukraine since ancient times, with the oldest known depiction discovered by archaeologists dating back to the 10th century.

    The trident is also a symbol of Ukrainian statehood and the struggle for independence. During the Soviet era, its use was restricted or even completely banned.

    Today, Ukrainian soldiers proudly wear the trident on their uniforms, symbolizing centuries of struggle for freedom.

  2. The tryzub is an amazing symbol stylistically and I love seeing the many variations.
