Seal of Portland, Oregon

The seal of the City of Portland in Oregon was originally adopted in 1878, standardized in 1964, and most recently revised August 3, 2005.

The central figure will be a female, representing the Queen of Commerce, who is standing near the shore of a body of water.

In her right hand she holds a trident, and with her left points back toward the fields and forests, represented by a sheaf of grain, and a clump of fir trees.

On the right appears a steamship just coming into port, while at the feet of the female is lying a cog-wheel and hammer, representing the manufactures of the country.

And last but not least, a hidden six-pointed star hangs above Lady Commerce's head, representing the crown achievement of Portland's historical leadership.
