The national emblem of Yemen depicts the Hawk of Quraish with a scroll between its claws. On the scroll is written the name of the country (Yemen Arab Republic) in Arabic. The chest of the eagle contains a shield that depicts a coffee plant and the Marib Dam, with seven blue wavy stripes below. The flagstaffs on the right and left of the eagle hold the flag of Yemen.

The Hawk of Quraish is a symbol which is found on a number of emblems, coat of arms and flags of several states of the Arab world. The Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula, today especially those from the Persian Gulf coast, are traditionally falconry experts; falcons (and hawks) are seen as status symbols and one of the Arabs' favourite animals. Also the traditions and recorded history about the Quraysh and Muhammad claim a falcon had been used as clan symbol. Therefore, several variants of the Quraishi hawk were and are seen in the flags, coat of arms, seals and emblems of several Arab states until today. In that meaning, the Hawk of Quraish is a rival to the so-called Eagle of Saladin.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (1452–1519) was a prominent Italian polymath of the High Renaissance, renowned for his expertise as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. While initially acclaimed for his prowess in painting, he gained equal renown for his extensive notebooks, which contained drawings and writings on a diverse array of subjects, ranging from anatomy and astronomy to botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology. Regarded as a quintessential Renaissance humanist, Leonardo is widely celebrated as a genius whose body of work has profoundly influenced subsequent generations of artists, rivaling even that of his esteemed contemporary Michelangelo.
