State Seal (color)

The Seal of New Jersey includes:

  • A shield with three plows emblazoned, representative of New Jersey's agricultural tradition.
  • A forward-facing knight's helmet.
  • A horse's head as the crest of the helmet.
  • The female figures Liberty and Ceres, representative of the state's motto (see next item). Liberty is holding a staff supporting a "liberty cap"; Ceres is holding a overflowing cornucopia.
  • The streamer at the foot of the emblem contains the State Motto of New Jersey, "Liberty and Prosperity", and the year of statehood, 1776.

It was originally designed by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere in 1777.

The seal is the central motif in the flag of New Jersey.
