The Coat of arms of Puebla (Spanish: Escudo de Puebla, lit. "state shield of Puebla") is a symbol of the Free and Sovereign State of Puebla.[1]
Symbolism
[edit]It is divided into four quarters, which contain the following elements:
12 unequal parts, the one in the lower right quarter being an industry. At the confluence of the four previous fields, there is a shield whose shape recalls the one granted by the Spanish Crown to the city of Puebla on the occasion of its foundation. This shield contains the legend: May 5, 1862.
The shield has a white border with the legend "United in time, in effort, in justice and in hope."
The shield is crowned with the profiles of four mountains, which are the Citlaltépetl or Pico de Orizaba, the Popocatépetl, the Iztaccíhuatl and the Matlacuéitl or Malinche. The whole is surrounded by two ascending feathered serpents, whose tails are corn cobs, and which hold the mask of Tlaloc over the four mountains. The serpents bear the marks of human feet, and each one carries four suns.
Below the previous set, there is a ribbon with the legend "Free and Sovereign State of Puebla."[2]
History
[edit]The governor Alfredo Toxqui Fernández de Lara ordered the design of the coat of arms for the people of Puebla so one more element of identification that would summarize the entire history of the state. On 18 August, 1977, the governor decreed the creation of the coat of arms and since then, it has represented the entity.[3]
Historical coats
[edit]The symbol is used by all successive regimes in different forms.
