Seal of Ohio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Great Seal of the State of Ohio features Ohio's coat of arms surrounded by the words, "THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF OHIO". Ohio's coat of arms features a full sheaf of wheat, symbolizing agriculture and bounty; a cluster of seventeen arrows, symbolizing Ohio's admittance as the seventeenth of the United States of America; a representation of Mount Logan, Ross County, as viewed from the Adena State Memorial; a rising sun three-quarters exposed and radiating thirteen rays to represent the original thirteen states shining over the first state of the Northwest Territory; and a representation of the Scioto River and cultivated fields.

Ohio's legislature has defined Ohio's coat of arms in the Ohio Revised Code, chapter 5, section 04. The Great Seal is defined in chapter 5, section 10.
