National identification and other marks
Coat of arms
The Great Seal of the United States consists of a bold eagle with wings and legs spread (displayed). On it's chest the eagle wears an escutcheon divided in two: an upper plain field and a lower barred field. The eagle holds in its right claw an olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 olives (representing the 13 first states) and in its left claw 13 arrows. A banner with the national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (Out of many, one) is hold with its beak.
This escutcheon is a part of the Great Seal. It is divided in two parts. Of the two, the lower part is decorated with vertical bars. The escutcheon resembles the flag of the United States, although it lacks the stars and the outer bars are argent (silver), instead of gules (red).
