Wisconsin Miniature Flag
Each Wisconsin small miniature desk flag measures 4x6 inch; and is attached to a 10 inch; black plastic stick with a gold spear topper.
These Wisconsin flags make perfect table decorations. Black flag stand is not included, but is sold separately.
The flag includes the Coat of Arms, also on Wisconsin's Great Seal, which represents many of Wisconsin's valued natural resources and the contributions of early pioneers to the state's development. The supporters are depicted as a sailor and a miner, which symbolize the type of work that people did in 1863 at the time the flag was made. The tools of the important trades of the times lie within the shield: the symbols for agriculture (plow), mining (pick and shovel), manufacturing (arm and hammer), and navigation (anchor). The badger, which is the state animal, sits above the shield. It represents the name given to the lead miners. The banner reads "Forward," the state's motto. Reflecting Wisconsin's continuous drive to be a national leader, the state adopted "Forward" as the official state motto in 1851. At the base of the shield, is a cornucopia, or horn of plenty, standing for prosperity and abundance, while a pyramid of 13 lead ingots represents mineral wealth and the 13 original U.S. states. In the center lies the U.S. coat of arms symbolizing Wisconsin's loyalty to the Union.
