We know it’s likely to be Ceres, goddess of the harvest and fertility, depicted on this seal, particularly given the reference to spring, but we prefer the idea of a generic farm wench. Whoever she is, she’s carrying a wheatsheaf, symbolic of fertility and bounty. She also has amazing breasts. Seriously, not a droop in sight. She’d pass the pencil test with flying colours (for those of you who can remember it)!

The Latin motto on the scrolling banner is a fairly morose and depressing message: spring is not always green! A stark reminder that nothing in life is a guarantee. All the more reason to eat that cake, swig that champagne, buy that piece of jewellery. Or buy this intaglio and have it made into a spectacular piece of jewellery just for you.

Seize the moment peeps.

The time is now.
