Seal of Arizona

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Arizona State Seal was adopted in 1911. The seal is ringed by the words “Great Seal of the State of Arizona” on the top, and 1912 the year of Arizona’s statehood, on the bottom. The motto Ditat Deus (Latin: "God Enriches"), lies in the center of the seal. In the background is a range of mountains with the sun rising behind the peaks. At the right side of the mountains is a water storage reservoir and a dam, with irrigated fields and orchards. There are cattle grazing on the right, and a quartz mill and a miner (George Warren) with a pick and shovel on the left.

The state seal is representative of the foundational elements of the Arizona economy: cattle, cotton, copper, citrus, and climate, which are all visible on the seal. "The Five C's", as they are commonly known, appear as follows: Cattle, of course, are grazing on the lower right. Citrus is represented by the irrigated orchard slightly left of the middle. Cotton is represented by the irrigated fields to the upper right. Copper is represented by the miner on the left. Climate, as expressed and exported in the flora and fauna, is represented by the dry desert sunset.
