uzbekistan emblem T-Shirt

The state emblem of Uzbekistan was formally adopted on July 2, 1992 by the newly establish Republic of Uzbekistan. It bears many similarities to the emblem of the previous Uzbek SSR, which Republic of Uzbekistan succeeded. The coat of arms displays the natural wealth of the country. On the left there is a cotton plant, which has been immensely important to the country's industry and agriculture since the Soviet era. To the right is a wreath of wheat ears, symbolising the country's wealth and prosperity. It is surmounted by the blue star of Rub El Hizb (۞) with white star and crescent inside, a symbol of Islam, which a majority of Uzbeks profess. In the centre, a right-facing Huma (or Khumo) is displayed with outstretched wings. This legendary bird symbolises peace, happiness and striving for freedom. Enclosed by the Huma's wings is a depiction of the rising sun over mountains, overlooking green pastures. Two rivers, the Amu Darya and Sir Darya, flow from the mountains and crepuscular rays emanate from the rising sun at the rear of the emblem. The Khumo is perched on a banner at the base of the cotton and wheat borders which bears the national colours and the name of the country in Latin script (Oʻzbekiston).
