The Great Seal of the United States is a famous symbol of the U.S. dating back to 1782. It shows the coat of arms of the United States. Pictured is a shield, similar to the American flag, though different. An eagle with it's wings out-stretched holds 13 arrows on his right and an olive branch (traditionally with 13 leaves, though not required legally) on his left. His head is turned towards the olive branch, show the United States prefers peace but is ready for war. The eagle also holds a scroll with the moto, "E Pluribus Unum." Above the eagle is a "glory" with 13 stars.
