AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A detailed heraldic coat of arms depicting the 'Quadrato di Sator,' entirely hand-carved.
The Sator square is a recurring inscription in Latin, composed of the following five words: SATOR, AREPO, TENET, OPERA, ROTAS. Their position, whether in the indicated order or in reverse order, creates a palindrome, meaning a phrase that remains identical when read from left to right or vice versa.
It is difficult to determine the literal meaning of the phrase composed of five words; if the term indicates a proper noun, the phrase can be translated as 'The sower Arepo carefully handles the wheels.'
Originally located in a sumptuous garden, the coat of arms is suitable for enriching luxurious interiors, gardens, rustic houses, or dependencies.
Ensures an accurate shipment of the item with package tracking.
