Lion and the Mouse Motto Necklace

Made by stamping an 1800s carved seal with 'mottos' in French, Italian, Latin or English on to gold. A rectangular disc in gold with satin finish that will turn shiny over time features an image from the Aesop Fable ‘The Lion and the Mouse’ -- Lion trapped in a net and a little mouse with the English motto “Patience.” We all learn that small acts of kindness lead to great deeds and strong friendships that will reward you in times of need. For the friendship of two, the patience of one is required. On the reverse, Italian motto “dopo come avanti” (‘after as forward’). Handcrafted in Los Angeles.
