DescriptionMayoralty, City of New Orleans, 1861 Seal.jpg |
English: Mayoralty, City of New Orleans, 1861 Seal
Seal depicts a Native American woman and man, representing the original inhabitants of the land. They stand aside a shield depicting a seated man with a container from which water flows, an allegorical representation of the Mississippi River; this version has a sun rising in the background symbolizing a new beginning. Below the feet of the Native Americans is an American Alligator, representing local wildlife. Top center is a circle of stars. The outer circle of 13 stars represent the original 13 founding States of the United States. Inside a central star represents Louisiana. (Some 19th century versions also include additional stars for additional states, but this is not done consistently.) |
