Coat of Arms of Puebla

This official emblem represents the State of Puebla in Mexico, a detailed coat of arms showcasing the region's diverse heritage. The main shield is quartered, with each section portraying significant facets: industry with factory buildings and a gear, infrastructure via a bridge and electric towers, and agriculture depicted by corn and a hand nurturing a plant. Central to the design is a smaller shield commemorating the pivotal Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, with a soldier's hand holding a rifle against a backdrop of flames. Majestic snow-capped volcanoes, likely Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, form the upper landscape. Indigenous influence is clear at the crest with a pre-Hispanic stylized head and feathered serpent figures on the sides, evoking ancient Mexican symbolism. The outer border features small footprints and circular motifs, suggesting progress through time. Surrounding the shield are meaningful phrases: 'EN EL ESFUERZO,' 'UNIDOS EN EL TIEMPO,' 'EN LA JUSTICIA Y,' and 'EN LA ESPERANZA,' translating to 'In Effort, United in Time, In Justice and, In Hope.' The base proudly states 'ESTADO LIBRE Y SOBERANO DE PUEBLA,' affirming Puebla's status as a Free and Sovereign State.
