380 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual little seal that was made circa 1820-1850.It has a green chalcedony base with a hedgehog in the grass and a butterfly above it. In many cultures, hedgehogs are seen as positive animals that symbolise happiness, motherhood, and calmness. They are loved by people because of their relaxed and non-aggressive behaviour. Many cultures also associate the butterfly with our souls. The Christian religion sees the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life, so what a wonderful seal to wear.
