Suwalki Gubernia Emblem. Very likely also PD-old. Emblem dates from the Russian Empire. Main city now located in Poland. Partially located in Belarus if I remember correctly. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 12:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

According to the Law of the Republic of Belarus: No. 370-XIII of May 16, 1996 Full text

Section 2, Article 8. Works that are not Objects of Copyright

1. Shall not be objects of copyright:

formal documents (laws, judgements, other texts of legal, administrative and judicial nature), and also their official translations;
state symbols and signs (flag, coat of arms, anthem, awards, banknotes and other signs);
works of folk arts, authors of which are not known.

Therefore this is assumed to be in the public domain worldwide, although some of the above categories may be subject to usage restrictions within Belarus.

According to the Polish Copyright Law Act of February 4, 1994, (Article 4, cases 4.1 and 4.2) the "governmental symbols, documents, materials and signs are not subject to copyrights". Hence it is assumed that this image has been released into the public domain. However, in some instances the use of this image in Poland might be regulated by other laws.
