The Eye of Providence...
...as pictured on our $1.00 bill. "The Eye is enclosed by a triangle and surrounded by rays of light, or glory, meant to represent the concept of divine providence. It's positioned above an unfinished pyramid of 13 steps, symbolizing the original 13 colonies, but also incorporating the nation's potential for future growth. Such symbolism is explained through the motto that appears above the Eye, annuit coeptis, meaning "He approves {our} undertakings". The eye is originally found on the Great Seal of the United States that was designed in 1782. Thanks to google for that information, and thanks to trisharooni for hosting TinyTuesday & her theme of "eye". :))
