ai ulatan kaiehes te can abuna waipan taunes akel. ai, ulatan laite abuna waipan taunes akel mia
[…] why must it be that men always seek out the depths, the abyss? Why must thought, like a plumb line, concern itself exclusively with vertical descent? Why was it not feasible for thought to change direction and climb vertically up, ever up, towards the surface?
— Yukio Mishima, Sun and Steel
An unusual Georgian-era pendant with imagery associated with mourning, however the images are composed entirely of micro-calligraphy text recalling the dates of death, and biblical verses. Extremely rare. Images on both sides. The case is gold filled.
