The Emblem of Bhutan (རྒྱལ་ཡོངས་ལས་རྟགས་) maintains several elements of the flag of Bhutan, with slightly different artistry, and contains Buddhist symbolism. The emblem was designed by a Mongolian artist and it was commissioned by Ashi Tashi Dorji , the sister of the Queen Grandmother.
The dragon is described as "parallel to the fly" (meaning, according to a diagram in the document, parallel to the length along the bottom edge of the flag), while the dragon in the photos appears to have a slightly rising vertical slant. The dragon is described as "green", but the shade in the photos, if indeed green, must be very pale.
The National Symbols of Bhutan include the national flag, national emblem, national anthem, and the mythical druk thunder featured in all three.
