Hope For Peace
A beautiful early Victorian era intaglio; hand carved and unique
Why we love it
Symbolism abound with this beautiful wax seal
In the foreground we see a fowled anchor, symbolic of steadfast hope and int he top right hand corner a dove carrying an olive twig, symbolic of peace
We draw the meaning of the intaglio from the imagery as being a much longed for wish for peace and stability
