The Great Seal of the State of Indiana is the official seal of the U.S. state of Indiana.
The current design of the seal was standardized by the Indiana General Assembly in 1963.
The sun rising in the picture represents that Indiana has a bright future ahead and is just beginning.
The mountains it rises over are a representation of the Allegheny Mountains showing that Indiana is in the west.
The woodman represents civilization subduing the wilderness that was Indiana.
The buffalo represents the wilderness fleeing westward away from the advancing civilization.
