The eagle finally disappeared in the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The arms were now held by two lions, one holding a sword, the other a palm leaf. Sometimes only one lion is shown, holding a palm leaf. The present cantonal arms are officially without supporters, but the Canton uses often a modern version of the arms with the two lions. | The eagle finally disappeared in the 18<sup>th</sup> century.
