Stamp Coat of Arms with lions it reflects the thematic directions:

A coat of arms is an heraldic visual design on an escutcheon (i.e. shield), surcoat, or tabard. The coat of arms on an escutcheon forms the central element of the full heraldic achievement which in its whole consists of shield, supporters, crest, and motto. A coat of arms is traditionally unique to an individual person, family (except in the United Kingdom), state, organisation or corporation.

Лев (Panthera leo) — крупный представитель семейства кошачьих рода Panthera, обитающий в странах Африки к югу от Сахары и Индии. У него мускулистое тело с широкой грудью, короткая округлая голова, круглые уши и тёмный пучок волос на кончике хвоста. У него ярко выражен половой диморфизм: взрослые самцы крупнее самок и имеют густую гриву. Это социальный вид, образующий группы, называемые прайдами. Львиный прайд состоит из нескольких взрослых самцов, родственных самок и детёнышей. Группы львиц обычно охотятся вместе, охотясь в основном на средних и крупных копытных. Лев — высший и ключевой хищник.

A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to the naked eye at night; their immense distances from Earth make them appear as fixed points of light. The most prominent stars have been categorised into constellations and asterisms, and many of the brightest stars have proper names. Astronomers have assembled star catalogues that identify the known stars and provide standardized stellar designations. The observable universe contains an estimated 1022 to 1024 stars. Only about 4,000 of these stars are visible to the naked eye—all within the Milky Way galaxy.
