This is an image of an emblem. The emblem features a central pine tree, a moose, and ribbons with the words "DIRIGO" and "MAINE". The design is symmetrical and resembles a coat of arms or state emblem. The moose is positioned under the tree. Two figures are on either side, one holding a scythe and the other a naval anchor. The style is formal and emblematic, suggestive of traditional heraldic art.
