The Great Seal of The United States is a design that is used symbolically to represent the United States of America. According to official statements from the Federal Government, the seal appears in diverse forms "on coins, postage stamps, stationery, publications, flags, , public monuments, public buildings, passports, and other items the U.S. government has issued, owns, or uses. The Seal can be affixed only by an officer of the Department of State, under the authority of its custodian, the Secretary of State." Several variants of the Seal exist, but all show an an American bald eagle with its wings spread, supporting a shield, or escutcheon, and clutching an olive branch and a bundle of 13 arrows, "denoting the power of peace and war, which is exclusively vested in congress."
