The arms consist of a quartered oval with
blue in the first and fourth quarters and white in the second
and third. There are scales for justice. The horse and ox
represent liberty and plenty. There is a representation of
a city on a hill. That city is Montevideo, and it symbolizes
strength. The sun is the "Sun of May" first used in Argentina
and is derived from its historical ties with what was then the
United Provinces of the River Plata.
Each flag shown is
the flag used by that
nation's government and displayed at the U.N.
headquarters. Where noted the "civil" flag is also
available. It is identical to the "government" flag except
the seal is omitted.
Flags for Outdoor use are made of 100% heavyweight
nylon and finished with strong canvas headings and brass
grommets.
