I think it's to do with a Revolution (Russian I think). It's two weapons, ones a moon shaped knife and the other looks like a hammer, like a blacksmith hammer.





Does the image have a name?


What's it's meaning?


Is there a phrase I can Google that will show it?





Thanks.

hammer and sickle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer_and_...





They are supposed to be tools, not weapons, signifying unity between industrial and agricultural workers. The sickle is the same thing as a scythe, a tool for harvesting by hand.





It was the insignia on the flag of the Soviet Union.
Reply:History and symbology





The hammer and sickle itself, originate from the unique Russian unity of the peasants (the sickle) with the workers (the hammer) who together formed the Soviet Russian state. The Red field is symbolism of the blood that has been spilt by workers the world over in the fight for their emancipation, and was directly inherited from the red banner flown at the Paris Commune; the original and hitherto “base” symbol of a worker’s government flag. The single yellow star is both the representation of the life and immense energy of the sun, empty because within is the blood or production of workers struggle; and also the five points of the star symbolize the single unity and international representation of the government — each of the five points is representative of the five (up to then known/recognized) continents.
Reply:The hammer and sickle is a symbol of the communist movement. The hammer stands for the industrial working class while the sickle represents the agricultural workers; together the hammer and sickle represents the unity of these two groups.





It is also speculated that the hammer represents power, while the scythe represents efficiency: "Power and Efficiency."
