The Coat of Arms of Sucre State
Heraldical Description
|
The Coat of Arms of Sucre State exhibits a field divided in three quarters and filleted in Or (yellow).
The Dexter Quarter of the Chief enameled in, red or burgundy (it's, how strange, not specified: I've seen it both ways!!) a golden inverted cornucopia appears, as emblem of abundance, flowing out of its realms rich and varied fruits.
The Sinister Quarter of the Chief enameled in limpid yellow, evocative of the prosperity and happy destinies of the region, a cocotero (coconut tree) rises, fruity and lone, representing one of the State's main crops.
The Quarter of the Base enameled in light blue, concentrates a wide range of symbols: the pale blue of the heavens, the amplitude of the seas, flowing calmly beyond the horizon. The golden coast exposes itself, breaking its lines to the right where we can see small hills and dunes; to the left, a fisherman and fish can be seen, symbolising, what else, the fishing trade.
As external ornaments: The Coat of Arms presents below the field, centered, a yellow band ties two twigs, one of blossomed tobacco (right), and the other of ripe coffee (left).
Above the field, a laurel crown sits: inside this crown, amid sunrays (not shown; they are used alternatively) the victorious profile of the Great Mariscal of Ayacucho, General Sucre, can be admired.
