The flag of Idaho consists of the state seal on a field of blue. The words 'State of Idaho' appear in gold letters on a red and gold band below the seal. According to the official description of the flag, there should also be a fringe of gold around the edges. The seal depicts a miner and a woman representing equality, liberty and justice. The symbols on the seal represent some of Idaho's natural resources: mines, forests, farmland and wildlife. The current seal contains the text 'Great Seal of the State of Idaho' in the outer ring, with the star that signifies a new light in the galaxy of states. The inner ring contains a banner with the Latin motto, Esto perpetua ('Let it be perpetual' or 'It is forever'). A woman (signifying justice) and a man (dressed as a miner) support a shield. The miner represents the chief industry of the state at the time of statehood. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
