The Eagle's right talons - which are on the left of the viewer - hold an olive branch.
The left talons - which are on the right of the viewer - hold 13 arrows (representing the original 13 colonies).
The Eagle looks toward the olive branch because peace is preferred, but the arrows represent that the country is prepared to go to war if peace fails.
