The emblem is describable as a coat of arms: Per pale azure a sun or and vert three houses argent lined or per pale, on a pale gules the lettering "ᡄᠯᡄᠰᡐᡉᡉ᠅" (Mongol script for "Elestüü⁘"); for crown a Buddhist pagoda roof gules charged with a lotus (as on the republic’s flag) argent lined or above the lettering "ЭЛСТ · ЭЛИСТА" (Cyrillic script for "Êlst · Êlista"); all edges of the crown and shield, including the fess’s edges, lined or.
