Emblem Of Afghanistan (2013–2021)
An emblem is an abstract or representational pictorial image that represents a concept, like a moral truth, or an allegory, or a person, like a king or saint. Emblems vs. symbols Although the words ''emblem'' and ''symbol'' are often used interchangeably, an emblem is a pattern that is used to represent an idea or an individual.

In the Middle Ages, many saints were given emblems, which served to identify them in paintings and other images: St. Cather ...
