Be True Art Nouveau Water Ceramic Ornament

The "Be True" ornament is inspired by the reflective, inwardly-turning water element in traditional Chinese medicine. Water is associated with winter and the essence of seed: the words written in art nouveau font "be true" inspire a return to authenticity. Waves splash around the helm; a hermit crab (who draws up inside the shelter of his shell) stares ahead as small paper origami boats ride the swells. The background are the faint outlines of the Blue Ridge mountains and the sky is dark save but the light of the moon and stars. The perfect gift for ocean-loving, mountain-loving friends and family.
