The olive branch, held in the right talon of the eagle, only holds significance when paired with the arrow, which is held in the left talon of the eagle. Together, these 2 symbols represent that the United States of America desires peace and searches for it, although they are ready for war at any time. The olive branch itself is a symbol of peace, and the fact that the eagle is facing the olive branch shows that USA prefers peace whenever possible. It is interesting to note that the olive branch is usually depicted with 13 olives and 13 leaves, representing the original 13 colonies.
