The circular seal features a central illustration of a rural agricultural scene with a sheaf of grain standing in a field, a plow and wagon in the background, and stylized dark furrows in the foreground beneath a blue sky with clouds. Surrounding the image is a cream-colored ring with the text “SEAL OF THE COUNTY OF LYON” at the top and “IOWA” at the bottom, separated by two blue stars. The seal is outlined with red, white, and blue borders.
