It shall be a perfect circle of one and three quarters
inches diameter. Within such circle shall appear another circle in distance
five-sixteenths of an inch from the outer edge of the original, with a diameter
of one and one-eighth inches, forming a border. Within such border shall appear,
letter spaced and in letters one-eighth inch in height and of Roman, in antique
style, across the top, the words, Town of Fairfield, and around the bottom the
word, Connecticut, each beginning and ending approximately one-half inch apart
in the lower sides along such border. "Within the upper half of the inner circle
shall appear the figures [of] an Indian and an early settler grasping hands to
seal a bargain, with a background of trees and hills. Overhead, following the
upper edge of the inner circle shall appear the word Seal, in letters
one-eighth inch in height in antique outline style. Underneath the figures shall
appear the numerals 1639, commemorating the date of settlement, in numerals
one-eighth inch in height of antique outline style. Within the lower half of the
inner circle shall appear three grapevines intertwined around supports, two
above and one below. At the bottom following the edge of the inner circle the
State motto Qui Transtulit Sustinet, in block letters on a ribbon one-eighth
inch wide, with the ends turned and cleft. (Source:
