Symbolism of Pennsylvania Flag
There is an American eagle sitting atop the seal and it represents the state's allegiance to its protector or the US. The shield is held together with the aid of 2 draft horses, which are like guardians supporting the shield. The majestic eagle sitting on the shield is suggestive of the sovereignty of the state. This shield in the Pennsylvania Flag depicts 3 pictures. The first one is that of a ship that stands for the state's commerce. The second is a plow that represents the state's agriculture and natural resources. Lastly the 3 sheaves of wheat are symbols of fertility and fecundity. Below the shield a cornstalk and olive branch represent success and peace. Beneath it is the state motto “Virtue Liberty and Independence”, beautifully written on a red ribbon.
The various facets of the Pennsylvania Flag are perfect for signifying the important ideals of the state.
