The Olive Branch Interiors

One of the most enduring symbols for peace, the olive branch has been used by various cultures, religions, political movements, and individuals to communicate harmony and reconciliation. Like many traditional emblems, the association has ancient roots, and dates back thousands of years. 

Symbolism in Modern Times

Designed in 1776, the Great Seal of the United States features an eagle grasping an olive branch in its right talon. Also, the United Nations’ flag features the olive branches to signify its commitment to peacekeeping. The symbol can also be seen on coins, coat of arms, police patches and badges across the world.
