STATE COAT OF ARMS 

The law “On the state coat of arms of Uzbekistan” was passed on July 2, 1992 at the 8th session of the Supreme Soviet of Uzbekistan. 
At the center is the Humo bird with wings spread – the symbol of happiness and freedom. Our great ancestor Alisher Navoi called the Humo the greatest living creature. 
At the top is the 8-sided star symbolizing the sign of the establishment of the republic, with a half moon and star inside. 
The sun represents the wish that our state’s path is lit by a bright light. It reflects the unique nature and climate of the republic. 
The sheaf of wheat and the blossoming cotton symbolize the richness of our sunny land, famous around the world. They are tied by a strip that is 3-colored, similar to the flag, representing the solidarity of the people living here.
