Why is the eagle reversed in this image and what is this image struck on to? I was just curious.

 

The image is reversed because this is the die for the seal that was cut in September 1782.

I am not sure what it was made of. What did they make dies from back then?

 

Anyway, here's a view of how it looked when pressed into official documents
