GEORGIA STATE SEAL CANVAS BAG by libertybell

The Seal of Georgia was originally adopted in 1798 as part of the State Constitution, though it has been modified since. Its specifications are currently spelled out by statute. The obverse (front) of the seal is centered around an arch with three pillars, the arch symbolizing the state's Constitution and the pillars representing the three branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. The words of the state motto, "Wisdom, Justice, Moderation", are wrapped around the pillars, being guarded by a man (possibly a soldier from the American Revolution) with a drawn sword, representing the military's defense of the Constitution. This image also serves as the state's coat of arms. The front side motto, surrounding the coat of arms, consists of the words "State of Georgia" in the top half of the circle and the year 1776 on the bottom, commemorating the date of the Declaration of Independence. The date was originally 1799 (the adoption of the seal) but was changed in 1914. On the less-prominent reverse of the seal, there is an image of Georgia's coast, with a ship (bearing the American flag) arriving to take aboard tobacco and cotton, symbolizing Georgia's export trade. There is another boat, bringing the crops from the inland regions, representing the state's "internal traffic". In the back, there is a man plowing and a flock of sheep. As the motto around the top indicates, this collection of images represents the state's "agriculture and commerce". The date here is also 1776.
