I managed to locate a detailed photo of the central emblem of the Tajikistan presidential standard at http://www.migration.tj/public/userfiles/baner/MT7Y9501.JPG. From what I notice, this does not use the lion from the former coat of arms but uses a winged lion. I am still trying to figure out how to draw the lion, but I managed to get everything else close to what the standard image looks like. Attached is my attempt at drawing this standard (using the lion by Zoltan Horvath). [see above]

Anybody knows was the central element of the TJ presidential standard changed ? Since 1990ths the central element was the winged lion (with big rounded wing) But in recent years the image of the lion has changed. the wing is barely visible now (very close to the back). Outline of the lion now looks like the first coat of arms of Tajikistan 1992. See set of photos 1994 – 2017 – 2020 – 2021 - 2023.

I’m not at all a TJ expert, but in view of the dated photos shown, it would really seem that the central emblem was changed between 2020 and 2021.
