Abstract
This clip, narrated by E.J. Salcines, centers on a stained-glass window depicting the Cuban coat of arms located inside El Círculo Cubano de Tampa in Ybor City. Salcines explains the origin and symbolism of the coat of arms, including its adoption in 1906, references to Cuba's geographic position, independence, republican ideals, and visual elements such as the key, rising sun, Phrygian cap, stars, stripes, and royal palm. The account situates the artwork within Cuban national history and its display within the Cuban Club building.
