Shield of Badiraguato


The coat of arms of Badiraguato municipality in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, was designed by Miguel Angel Velázquez Tracy (Painter and Muralist). It was declared an official shield in 1978.

The strip that divides the shield diagonally and the footprints that can be seen, represent the passage of the nahoas tribes by Sinaloa. The eagle symbolizes the Mexican nation that covers and protects the shield of Sinaloa and therefore Badiraguato.

The first quarter represents the obscurity of prehistory with the Badiraguato River as the only witness, so there is a black color and a small blue strip. The second quarter has a gold colored background and symbolizes the objective of the first settlers of the region: gold; the cross-shaped tree and the date of 1605, which symbolize the true conquest of the Badiraguato Valley. The third quarter with figures of hills, the peak and the shovel, symbolize the activities during the colony in the region: the mines. The last quarter symbolizes the work by means of a semi-baroque construction of brick and a swallow in flight. : Sinaloa Shield
