its beak and a sceptre and a sword in its claws.
The shield in front of the eagle is divided in five parts, one for each

eagle - Wallachia - the eagle has its origin in Byzantine coat of arms,
while the sun and the moon have their origin in Romanian folklore.

Moldova
dolphins - Dobrogea - the Short-beaked Common Dolphins live in Black Sea
lammergeier (bearded vulture) - Transylvania - the seven towers signify
the seven German cities of Siebenburgen (Siebenburgen is the German
name for Transylvania, and it actually means "seven cities" in German)
lion - Banat - the bridge signifies Trajan's bridge
