Region: Mountain
Emblem: Zia Sun symbol; lower-case "n" and upper-case "M" The Zia symbol, which was found on a piece of old Native American pottery, is strongly associated with New Mexico: it is found on the current flag, license plates, quarter, and highway welcome signs.
Field: Plain field The field completes the reference to the current state flag, which is simply a red Zia symbol on a golden yellow field.
