Origin/meaning :
The emblem is a green shield surrounded with a chain with 45 pieces symbolizing 1945, the year of Indonesian Independence.

The five waves of sea symbolize Pancasila, the national ideology. Right in the center is a "Keris", a traditional dagger, and a "Lancang Kuning" vessel, a Riau traditional ship. The keris symbolizes the heroism of Riau people based on truth and wisdom, while the Lancang Kuning vessel represents the maritime spirit of the people of Riau.

The ears of rice and cotton symbolize wealth and welfare.
