Flag of the State of New York

The flag of the State of New York depicts two supporters:

• Left: Liberty, with the Revolutionary imagery of a Phrygian cap raised on a Liberty pole
• Right: blindfolded Justice, with scaless and sword.

The unheraldic nature of the Hudson River landscape reveals the modern origin of the coat-of-arms. The crest is an eagle surmounting a world globe. The motto Excelsior is derived from Latin, and means "upward."
