The national emblem of Mozambique was adopted in 1990 in the Constitution of Mozambique Article 194, which states the design and meaning of the device. It shows a gearwheel bordered by corn stalks and sugarcane. In the middle, there is a red sun over a map of the country in green, blue waves, an AK-47 crossed with a hoe, and a book. The wreath is tied to a ribbon bearing the name of the country. The emblem is rendered in a socialist heraldry style similar to those used by the republics of the Soviet Union.
