"Wisconsin's coat of arms dates from 1851, with modifications to the seal made in 1881. The central shield is quartered, and the four sections contain symbols of labor: a plow, a miner's pick and shovel, an arm and hammer, and an anchor. The shield bears the motto ""E Pluribus Unum"" (One From Many) and is supported by a sailor holding a coil of rope and a yeoman holding a pick. Before them are a cornucopia and a pyramid of pig-lead ingots, representing the natural resources of Wisconsin. Above is a badger with the state motto, ""Forward."""
