This wax seal stamp features the First Great Seal of the United States, an early and powerful symbol of American sovereignty, unity, and determination.
Adopted in 1782 after years of deliberation following the Declaration of Independence, the original design embodied the bold spirit of the fledgling nation. The obverse of the seal presents a bald eagle, wings outstretched, grasping an olive branch in one talon to symbolise peace, and thirteen arrows in the other to represent readiness to defend the new republic. In its beak, the eagle bears a scroll inscribed with the motto "E Pluribus Unum" ("Out of many, one"), signifying the union of the original thirteen colonies. Above the eagle, a radiant constellation of thirteen stars shines against a blue field, representing a new constellation among the sovereign powers of the world.
The First Great Seal reflects the profound ideals of liberty, strength, and unity at the very heart of the American Revolution. This wax seal is perfect for history enthusiasts, collectors, reenactors, patriots, or anyone wishing to bring the spirit of 18th-century America into their correspondence, sealing their letters with the enduring strength and vision of the Founders.
