The reaper is a traditional icon of Catalan culture represented by a farmer who wields a scythe. It originated in Revolt, an uprising led by the major expenses that acquired the Thirty Years War in Catalonia. The national anthem of Catalonia, "Els segadors", also is related to the character and is a call to defend the freedom of the land, written by Emili Guanyavents and music by Francesc Alió.
