You wouldn't normally expect Aztec symbols to find their way as far north as Colorado, but a glance at the state's official seal clearly reveals a single watchful eye within a pyramid.

A state seal is an official emblem whose features are supposed to symbolize the state it represents. Alabama's seal, for instance, has a map showing the state's many rivers.
