Coat of Arms of Samarkand Oblast 1890 (Russia) Vinyl Decal

This striking decal presents the historic coat of arms of Samarkand Oblast, a region within the Russian Empire, as it was officially adopted in 1890. The design is a rich tapestry of symbolism, reflecting the area's geography, economy, and historical legacy.

Visual Elements & Representation

The central element is a blue (azure) shield, upon which a silver (argent) wavy stripe, known as a pale, cuts vertically. This wavy stripe symbolizes the Zerafshan River, a vital waterway flowing through the oblast.

Flanking the river are two golden (or) branches of mulberry, a nod to the region's prominent silk industry. Above, a silver (argent) band, known as the "chief," rests at the top of the shield. Within this chief is the distinctive tamga, or seal, of Tamerlane, rendered as three black rings—one above and two below—representing a historical connection to the influential ruler.

Crowning the shield is a Russian imperial crown, signifying the oblast's status within the Russian Empire. The shield itself is encompassed by a wreath of golden oak branches, bound by the red-and-black Alexander Ribbon, a common emblem in imperial heraldry.

Symbolism & Meaning

The design speaks volumes. The flowing silver stripe of the Zerafshan River highlights the region's geographic identity. The golden mulberry branches celebrate the importance of silk production and cultivation, a key industry. The presence of Tamerlane's tamga connects the region to its rich historical and cultural heritage. The imperial crown, oak wreath, and ribbon symbolize Samarkand Oblast's formal status and connection within the broader Russian Empire.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
