Together, both cotton and wheat plants are intertwined with the ribbon of the state flag, which portrays the peace and consolation of different peoples and ethnic groups living within the republic.

The Khumo is perched on a banner at the base of the cotton and wheat borders which bears the national colors and the name of the country in Latin script (Oʻzbekiston).

Prior to the October Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet regime in the country, the local khanates and emirates such as the Emirate of Bukhara and the Khanate of Khiva that gave way to the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, lacked the coat of arms in the western sense of the word, with the local states using more traditional ways of self-representation and symbols of governance.

was as follows: The Government emblem of the Bukharan People's Soviet Republic consists of a depiction of a green sheaf of dzhugara with a golden sickle thrust into it on the red background.

At the upper part of the emblem, a sickle of a half crescent is placed above the sheaf, inside of which is a golden five-pointed star.

The project of the emblem taken as basis of the final design consisted of depictions of uraq (a sickle) and a hammer criss-cross with the handles down and surrounded by a wreath of ears and branches of cotton.

On the ribbon of the wreath are the inscriptions; Uzbek on the left: «Бутун дунё пролетарлари, бирлашингиз» and Russian on the right: «Пролетарии всех стран, соединяйтесь!».

At the bottom of the two ribbons is the inscription «Ўз.ССР».This version of the emblem survived until the Dissolution of the Soviet Union, when a new coat of arms, along with other state insignia such as a flag was adopted, for the newly independent Republic of Uzbekistan.

The image of the sun symbolizes the light that illuminates the path of the Uzbek state, whilst the flourishing valley emphasizes the unique and favorable natural and climatic conditions of the Republic.

Together, wheat and cotton boxes entwined with ribbon of the tricolor of national flag, symbolize the consolidation of the peoples living in the Republic.
