The Coat of Arms - Attributes and Semiology: San José de
Guaribe is a Municipality located at the east of the Guárico
State, in the center of Venezuela. Its Coat of Arms consists of a
germanic field per fess, the base per pale. The first quarter in
azure (blue) loads a tree whose trunk shows three human faces:
one black to the dexter, another aboriginal on the center and
another Spanish white to the sinister, all rising of a gold
pennant with the Latin motto "SUB UMBRA FLOREO"
(I flourish under its shade) that also cuts the blazon. The
second quarter in gules (red) presents a
"Bandola" or an autochthonous type of little
guitar accompanied up and down by two native "Carrizos"
or pan flutes. The third quarter an arrogant bull raised on a
ground, all in it natural enamels. Between the base quarters and
like division between its appears an Argent thread
that expands towards the base. Like external ornament, the blazon
shows a rising sun surrounded by a rainbow in Or (yellow), Azure
(blue) and Gules (red) like crest and like supports a corn branch
and a flowered cotton one at the dexter; another of sorghum and
of flowered tobacco at sinister jointed by means of a gules
pennant that charges the following ephemeris and
inscriptions made in golden and capital gothic letters:
"20-2-1904" (February 2nd,1904) "CREACIÓN"
(Creation) at the dexter; "04-1-1989" (January 4th,
1989), "AUTONOMÍA" (Autonomy) at the sinister and
"MUNICIPIO SAN JOSE DE GUARIBE, ESTADO GUÁRICO",
(Saint Joseph of Guaribe, Guárico State) under the base. The
first quarter, in Azure for symbolize the High Ideals, the
Loyalty and the Perseverance of the inhabitants of the
Municipality, presents a representation of a legendary tree
called "Samán de Guaribe": emblem par excellence and
expression of ancestral roots and regional dignity. The second
quarter, in Gules for remember the valor, the courage and the
sacrifice which the Guaribensian offering for its profits and
plenary development shows three examples of its crafts and
musical temperament: a "Bandola" or little guitar
variation of the Venezuelan national instrument, the
"Cuatro" (four strings) and two "Carrizos" or
pan flutes. The third quarter, in brown or natural ground, shows
a wild bull exemplary of its chaste which symbolizes the intense
cattle activity of the locality. The rain-bowed sun symbolizes
Venezuela and its progress to which the Municipality contributes
with it hard work. The corn, the cotton, sorghum and tobacco
recall the diverse fruits of this prodigal part of the Venezuelan
Mother Ground throughout their history and the pennant is the
synthesis of the origin, values, identity and sense of property
of the Guaribensian People.
- Historical Synthesis: On 1992, Licenciate Jose de Jesus
Bustamante, native of Guaribe, makes contact with the
Symbollogist Raul Jesus Orta Pardo with the purpose of
crystallizing a symbollogical project conformed by a Flag and a
Coat of Arms destined to identify this Municipality of Guárico
State. Once made specific the graphical concept and determined
the corresponding interpretative and legal aspects, the project
was presented to the competent instances at that moment, those
that decided to maintain it in suspense. With the renovation of
municipal authorities the necessity of provide own symbols to San
Jose de Guaribe was reframed, which was crystallized on March
12th, 2002 when solemnly it were presented to their community
maintained and respected the original proposal.
