The figure of a running young woman symbolizes the heroine of the folk epic, Beauty Angara, who gave the name to the city, and is the personification of youth, beauty, strength - qualities inherent in the city. The golden color of the figure - a symbol of wealth - testifies to the high industrial potential of the city, the prosperity and generosity of its inhabitants.
The woman is depicted running to the heraldic right side, i.e. to the left of the viewer, which, according to heraldic norms, means forward movement. The waves, depicted by heraldic teeth, are inclined towards her (to the right of the viewer).”
