The anchor symbolizes hope and rescue. The anchors on a border
symbolize sea and military meaning. Seven anchors mean quantities
of area ports. The sheaf of bread symbolizes riches and unity of
the people. A sheaf is an arable farming mark and means steppe
part of the Odes'ka oblast' (old Balta arm is or sheaf in an
azure field). Grape symbolizes fertility. The symbol displays a
