The Seal of New York is almost the same as the Flag , but in a Seal . The goddess Justice symbolizes freedom before the law. She is shown with a blindfold over her eyes, and is also holding the scales of justice in her left hand. The goddess Liberty , who symbolizes freedom, holds a pole with a liberty cap, which symbolizes freedom from Britain after the American Revolutionary War . There is a shield between them, which has a picture of the Hudson Highland, the Sun , and two sail boats sailing on the Hudson River . Over the shield is a globe, showing the Western Hemisphere , and a Bald Eagle . Under the shield is a curving ribbon that reads New York's State Motto — "Excelsior", which can be translated from Latin as "ever upwards." A reproduction of the seal was the inspiration for the title of Longfellow's '' Excelsior ''. |
