Double Side Antique Tile (Roosters: "A Mort")
$550.00
This is a double sided metal etui seal tile would have been one of many tiles that were part of a larger interchangeable antique set. In great antique condition with lovely patina
Side 1: This is a highly detailed image of two roosters fighting. Above the image is the caption "a mort" meaning "to the death". One of the fascinating things about this seal is that it can carry many layers of symbolism including:
- Honor: A symbol of the fight and struggle to defend one’s beliefs or honor.
- Courage and Determination: Unwavering courage to be brave and stand one's ground.
- Conflict: A fight to the death when stakes are high.
Let this seal convey a deeper meaning to reflect your own personal journey.
Side 2: An Italian phrase "il gausto il ver la liberta sospiro" can be interpreted as a desire to be released from personal, emotional, or situational turmoil in pursuit of a better, freer state of being.
