The wavy bend sinister is for the River Ob, and the bridge for the Trans-Siberian Railway is also symbolically represented. The mural crown on top of the shield is the heraldic coronet of rank or symbol for a city. The supporters are black sables, and like the bow and arrows they come from the arms of Siberia.
