Description
The royal sigil of the Kingdom of Mysore in medieval South India, the golden two-headed eagle sailed the wind on the kingdom’s banner. It rode the tide of the fierce Wodeyar army, emblazoned across the king’s armour and the flanks of his mighty war elephants. A symbol of strength and a harbinger of great fortune and prosperity, this ancient emblem is used even to this day in the lands once ruled by the Wodeyar dynasty, the descendants of those great statesmen, warriors and kings.
