The emblem of Karakalpakstan is very similar to the emblem of Uzbekistan, and practically copies it in parts. It is a sign of the unity of the two republics. The emblem of Karakalpakstan shows the rising sun above the dark blue mountains and the ancient Zoroastrian fortress of Chilpyk - a symbol of ancient history and culture of the republic, the Amu Darya and the Aral Sea, surrounded by a wreath of wheat ears on the right and cotton branches with open boxes of cotton on the left. At the top of the coat of arms is an octahedron of blue with orange edges, inside which is a crescent with a white star. In the center of the coat of arms is a depiction of the mythical Kumai bird with open wings. The inscription "QARAQALPAQSTAN" (or "ҚАРАҚАЛПАҚСТАН") is written at the bottom of the ribbon bow of the wreath, which symbolizes the national flag of the republic. The wreath made of branches of cotton and wheat is tied with ribbons of flowers from the flags of Uzbekistan and Karakalpakstan.
