The Great Seal of the U.S. state of California.

The Seal of California was adopted at the California state Constitutional Convention of 1849 and redesigned in 1937. The seal features Minerva, the goddess of wisdom; a California golden bear feeding on grape vines, representing California wine production; a sheaf of grain, representing agriculture; a miner, representing the California Gold Rush and the mining industry; sailing ships, representing the state's economic power; and San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate and a distant Pacific Ocean. The phrase "Eureka," meaning "We have found it!" is the California state motto.
