Beautiful handmade ceramic garden plaque with a faux bois bark design and raised 3-dimensional detail. The piece is richly textured with naturalistic bark lines and earthy glaze tones.

The inscription reads “Festina Lente,” a Latin motto meaning “make haste slowly” ; in other words, balance purpose with patience.

A thoughtful gift for a gardener, artist, teacher, writer, philosopher, or anyone who appreciates meaningful handmade pottery.

Signed “Marie” on the side. Measures 8 3/4” x 7” and weighs 1 1/2 lbs. Pre-owned condition is very good with no noted damage. Nice enough to give as a gift.
