| Reverse description | A stylized Tree of Life occupies the full field, its spreading canopy rendered in intricate relief with detailed branches and leaves above, and an equally elaborate root system below. The field is divided into contrasting light and dark quadrants in a yin-yang composition. Two faceted crystal gemstones are inset within the canopy — a clear/white crystal at lower left and an amber/yellow crystal at right. A quotation from Seneca the Younger is inscribed in the lower right portion of the field. |
