Kansas State Seal - Pint Glass 16oz

The Kansas State Seal is an official emblem of the U.S. state of Kansas. Adopted in 1927, the seal serves as a symbolic representation of the state's history, values, and attributes. Its design features a shield bearing images significant to Kansas: sunflowers, wheat sheaves, and a steamboat symbolizing transportation along the Missouri River. At the top of the shield, there is a bison, representing the state animal, flanked by ears of corn. Below the shield, there are two plowshares crossed beneath an olive branch, signifying Kansas's agricultural prosperity and its commitment to peace. The seal also includes the state motto, 'Ad Astra Per Aspera', which translates from Latin as 'To the Stars Through Difficulties'. This phrase reflects the challenges Kansas residents have faced throughout history and their resilience in striving for progress and success.
