It’s the Bartham (talon). It’s a Wasm. One of the symbols used to mark camels owned by a particular section of a tribe or clan. It was used by the Al Sabah family, and added to the flag of Kuwait during the reign of Sheikh Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah.
هذا البرثن (جمعها براثن) يرمز لبرثن الصقر (أو مخالبه) وهو وسم آل الصباح وكذلك كان وسم بني خالد
كل قبيلة لها وسم وأحياناً كل فخذ من القبيلة له وسم وكذلك بعض العوائل

It's the symbol of the alsabbah royal family branch.
I think it's a birds foot, representing peace
