Seal of the People's Assembly of Syria 1980-2024 Design
This design showcases the official emblem of the People's Assembly of Syria, utilized from 1980 to 2024. The artwork centers around the national Coat of Arms, a powerful symbol of Syrian identity and governance during this period.
Visual Elements and Representation
The core of the design is the Hawk of Quraish, a majestic bird that symbolizes Arab heritage. It is depicted prominently, acting as the central visual focus. The hawk is presented holding a shield, further amplifying its strength and authority.
The shield itself is adorned with the Syrian flag's tricolour, a horizontal arrangement of red, white, and black stripes, emblematic of the nation's history and aspirations. Three green stars are prominently displayed upon this tricolour, each representing a crucial aspect of the nation. The hawk and shield convey a sense of protection and national pride.
Symbolic Meaning
Beneath the shield, a scroll elegantly bears the Arabic inscription "الجمهورية العربية السورية" (Al-Jumhūrīyah al-‘Arabīyah as-Sūriyyah), which translates to "The Syrian Arab Republic." This inscription formally identifies the entity, reinforcing the authority and legitimacy of the People's Assembly within the framework of the Syrian Arab Republic.
The design, as a whole, encapsulates the national identity of the Syrian Arab Republic during the period of 1980-2024, through the use of key national symbols such as the Hawk of Quraish, the flag, and the official inscription, representing the country's history, heritage, and its legislative authority.
