Such Is Life Wax Seal
An early Victorian purple paste seal mimicking amethyst with wonderful facet detail tot he back and borders of the matrix, featuring imagery of a multi-mast ship, sailing through a tempest with the over arching motto in French ‘Telle Est La Vie’ meaning ‘Such is life’.
Why we love it
This seal depicts a sailing ship tossed about by rough waves.
We know that the sea represents this wild thing we all call life and the ship is the corporeal entity; meaning you!
This seal serves as an allegory for acceptance and resilience when facing the hardships and challenges that we all face during our brief time living
