Wyoming Seal

Great Seal of Wyoming

The Great Seal of the State of Wyoming is one of the state symbols of Wyoming, USA. The seal was created in 1893, redesigned in 1921.

The statue of a woman holding the flag with the motto "Equal Rights", depicted in the center of the press, symbolizes the political rights of women enjoyed by Wyoming women with the adoption of the amendment to suffrage in 1869. On the sides are male figures that symbolize cattle breeding and the mining industry of the state. In the background are two columns, at the top of which are burning lamps, symbolizing the fire of knowledge. The words "Oil", "Mines", "Cattle", "Grain" are written on the enveloping columns of the columns, symbolizing the four main sectors of Wyoming's economy - oil production, mining, animal husbandry and grain growing. At the bottom of the seal is an American eagle sitting on a federal heraldic shield. In the blue chapter of the shield, a silver star is depicted, accompanied by the letters "XL IV" on the sides - i.e. the Roman numeral 44, meaning that Wyoming was admitted to the Union 44th in a row. At the bottom of the shield is a ribbon with the dates "1869-1890". ^[one]

The State Seal is placed in the stained glass ceilings of the House of Representatives and the Wyoming Senate. A seal is also depicted in the center of the bison figure on the Wyoming flag .
