The coat of arms of Lithuania, consisting of an armor-clad knight on horseback holding an olden sword and shield, is also known as Vytis ("the Chaser"). The Lithuanian coat of arms is one of the oldest     national coats of arms in Europe. It is one of very few containing     symbolism adopted from ducal portrait seals rather than from coats of     arms of dynasties, which is the case for most European countries.
