A - Z Emblems / Emblemas

Question

I really enjoy playing the A-Z challenge games (thank you to all their ingenious creators!), so here is one of my own (that I don't believe has been done before):

A - Z Emblems / Emblemas.

Now, the Game Rules:

• This game must be played in alphabetical order.

• Answers may be the emblem or symbol of a country or of an organisation.

• You may post either a Spanish or English word first but, in either case, you must include the translation. Please also include the name of the country or organisation that the symbol represents.

• Please post a picture if you can as it really helps to get a sense of the word.

• If you duplicate a letter at about the same time as someone else, don't worry; just carry on from where you are - it's only a game!

Always check the newest post to see what letter should be posted next. Thank you!

I will post the first word, starting with

"A" for arpa – harp

emblema estatal, o nacional, de Irlanda

national, or state, emblem of Ireland,

then the next person posts a word starting with "B", then "C" and so on.

Let's go...Enjoy!
