The Emblem of Uzbekistan was adopted on July 2, 1992, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the independent Republic of Uzbekistan. The emblem is a symbol of the sovereignty and cultural heritage of Uzbekistan.
Design[edit | edit source]
The emblem of Uzbekistan is rich in symbolism and reflects the country's history, culture, and aspirations. It features a number of elements that are significant to the Uzbek people.
Sun and Star[edit | edit source]
At the center of the emblem is a depiction of the sun with rays shining. The sun symbolizes the light and warmth of the homeland. Above the sun is an eight-pointed star, known as the Rub el Hizb, which is a traditional symbol in Islamic culture and represents the unity and harmony of the Uzbek people.
Huma Bird[edit | edit source]
In front of the sun is the mythical Huma bird, a symbol of happiness and freedom. The Huma bird is depicted with outstretched wings, signifying the aspirations of the Uzbek people for peace and prosperity.
Cotton and Wheat[edit | edit source]
The emblem is encircled by a wreath made up of two plants: cotton on the left and wheat on the right. Cotton is one of Uzbekistan's most important agricultural products and a key export commodity. Wheat represents the country's agricultural abundance and the importance of bread in Uzbek culture.
National Flag Colors[edit | edit source]
The ribbon that ties the wreath together at the bottom is colored in the national colors of Uzbekistan: blue, white, and green. These colors are also found on the Flag of Uzbekistan and symbolize the sky, peace, and nature, respectively.
Khumo Bird[edit | edit source]
At the top of the emblem, there is a depiction of the Khumo bird, another mythical creature that symbolizes happiness and freedom.
Historical Emblems[edit | edit source]
Before the adoption of the current emblem, Uzbekistan used the emblem of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic during its time as a part of the Soviet Union. This emblem featured typical Soviet symbols such as the hammer and sickle and the red star.
