Underneath the horse is the word, "Wollo." Black and white photos are placed around the seal and logos and consist of a stele at Axum, Church of St. George at Lalibela, the Blue Nile Falls, two tour buses which seem to be associated with the Wollo logo, a pile of fish, workers by what appears to be piles of salt, some boats, and Fasilides Castle.
