The flag of Belize features a royal blue field with red stripes at the top and bottom. At the center is the national coat of arms, which depicts a mahogany tree flanked by two woodcutters, symbolizing the importance of the mahogany trade in Belizean history. The shield in the coat of arms includes tools of the trade, and the motto below, "Sub Umbra Floreo," means "Under the Shade I Flourish." This flag celebrates Belize's heritage and its people's industrious nature.
