The emblem of Karakalpakstan is one of the official symbols (along with the flag and anthem) of Karakalpakstan, an autonomous republic within Uzbekistan. It was approved on April 9, 1993.[1] The coat of arms was developed from a sketch by Karakalpak artist Jollybai Izentaev based on the emblem of Uzbekistan.[2]
The emblem of Karakalpakstan is very similar to the emblem of Uzbekistan, and practically copies it in parts. It is a sign of the unity of the two republics. The emblem of Karakalpakstan shows the rising sun above the dark blue mountains and the ancient Zoroastrian fortress of Chilpyk - a symbol of ancient history and culture of the republic, the Amu Darya and the Aral Sea, surrounded by a wreath of wheat ears on the right and cotton branches with open boxes of cotton on the left. At the top of the coat of arms is an octahedron of blue with orange edges, inside which is a crescent with a white star. In the center of the coat of arms is a depiction of the mythical Kumai bird with open wings. The inscription "QARAQALPAQSTAN" (or "ҚАРАҚАЛПАҚСТАН") is written at the bottom of the ribbon bow of the wreath, which symbolizes the national flag of the republic. The wreath made of branches of cotton and wheat is tied with ribbons of flowers from the flags of Uzbekistan and Karakalpakstan.[1]
The first Constitution of the Karakalpak ASSR was adopted on December 21, 1934, by the 2nd Congress of Soviets of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
The emblem of the republic consisted of images on a red background of a golden sickle and hammer, placed criss-crosswise with handles downwards and surrounded by a wreath of wheat ears, at the bottom on the sling was the image of the Karakul rune.
On March 23, 1937, the new Constitution of the Karakalpak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was approved. The constitution described the arms in Article 110:
