The law "On the State Emblem of the Republic of Uzbekistan" was adopted on July 2, 1992, at the tenth session of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
In the center of the emblem, there is a bird, the Humo with its wings spread - a symbol of happiness and freedom. Our great ancestor Alisher Navoi characterized the Humo bird as the kindest of all living creatures.
In the upper part of the emblem, there is an octagon symbolizing the sign of the republic's affirmation, inside of which is a crescent with a star.
The image of the sun is a wish for our country's path to be illuminated by bright light. At the same time, it points to the unique natural and climatic conditions of the republic.
The sheaves of wheat are a symbol of bread, while the stems with opening cotton bolls represent the main wealth of our sunny land, which has glorified it throughout the world. The sheaves of wheat and cotton bolls, intertwined with the ribbon of the State flag, signify the consolidation of the peoples living in the republic.
