It's very similar to the Avenging Lion Of Judah although wikipedia doesn't list any similarities this website says that all coat of arms can be traced back to the 12 Tribes Of Israel..

Coat of Arms for Individual Countries


Although coats of arms for towns and countries have been traced back to the twelve tribes of Israel, in early medieval days the symbols representing a country were those of the sovereign of that country. Thus coats of arms for a country could be altered somewhat by each succeeding monarch. It is also common for a country's coat of arms to incorporate symbols from countries they have conquered.

There are also Coat Of Arms in Belgium Flanders and Walloon Flanders. i guess the 12 tribes scatter everywhere.

If African-Americans had their own Coat Of Arms what do you think would influence it?
