This wax seal stamp features the Second Great Seal of the United States, a refined emblem symbolising the growing strength and unity of the young American republic.
Following the first designs after independence, the second version of the Great Seal — redesigned in 1841 — continued to display the proud American bald eagle, clutching arrows of war and an olive branch of peace. In its beak, the eagle holds a flowing banner inscribed with the motto "E Pluribus Unum" ("Out of Many, One"), representing the union of the original thirteen colonies into one nation.
Above the eagle shines a constellation of thirteen stars, symbolising a new state among the powers of the earth. The design conveys the balance between war and peace, vigilance and sovereignty, and the ideals upon which the United States was founded. Slight refinements in the eagle's form, shield, and surrounding details reflected the nation's evolving identity and aspirations.
This wax seal is perfect for historians, patriots, collectors, or anyone seeking to honour the founding spirit of America by sealing their correspondence with the enduring emblem of liberty and unity.
