The State Emblem of Uzbekistan
The new state emblem of the Republic of Uzbekistan was created to reflect the many centuries of experience of the Uzbek people. The state emblem of the Republic of Uzbekistan presents the image of the rising sun over a flourishing valley. Two rivers run through the valley, representing the Syrdarya and Amu Darya.
The emblem is bordered by wheat on the right side and branches of cotton with opened cotton bolls on the left side. An eight pointed star is located at the top of the emblem, symbolizing the unity and confirmation of the republic. The crescent and star inside the eight pointed star are the sacred symbols of Islam. The mythical bird Semurg with outstretched wing is placed in the centre of the emblem as the symbol of the national renaissance.
The entire composition aims to express the desire of the Uzbek people for peace, happiness and prosperity. At the bottom of the emblem is inscribed the word «Uzbekistan» written in Uzbek on a ribbon in the national colors of the flag of the republic.
