A Skull with "J'ai été, le suis, tu seras { As you are, so once was I; As I am, so you will be } Skulls represent mortality, a reminder that we all come to the same end no matter the path we take to arrive there. They are meant to give the bearer a reason to live their lives to the best of their abilities each and every day, as if it is their last.
A Leaf with "I Change only in Death" - What a beautiful statement; as a leaf changes its color in the autumn just before dropping to the ground....
An Irish Harp - this seal features the image of a harp with 'Pas d'harmonie san accord'. which translates to 'There is no harmony with out agreement.' This is a reference to the people of the world working together in harmony and peace.
