More Noise Than Wool
A paste mimicking amethyst seal featuring imagery of the devil shearing a pig and text ‘More noise than wool’.
Why we love it
We love the imagery of the devil shearing a pig!
The phrase ‘more noise than wool’ originates from the saying ‘The devil sheared a pig – lots of squealing, but little fleece’, which means a lot of effort for little reward, or much ado about nothing.
This seal is exceptionally rare, we have only ever seen two!
