The eight-pointed star at the top of the coat of arms symbolizes the 
unity of the Republic. The crescent and the star inside it is a symbol of 
Islam, to which a majority of Uzbeks profess. 
In the middle, a khumo, symbol of happiness and love of freedom, 
beats its wings. In the background a bird’s eye view of Uzbekistan is 
painted. The rising sun over the mountains with its sun rays rounds off 
the image. 
The two rivers behind the bird, leading to the mountains, 
symbolize the Amu Darya and Syr Darya.
