And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Very nice. Best seen in late afternoon sunlight to get the best color effect of the Abalone. Luckily got my hands on a yard sale milk crate of old Abalone shells, lot of years ago, some of the colors are stunning, got to be careful cutting it though, use lots of water, has some kind of deadly poison in the dust if you breath it.
Didn't see any pieces, so it must just be the board, not a set.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous.
Beautiful. But distracting.
