This handcrafted  ornament is an eye-catching representation of The Compass Rose - the famous nautical device appearing on sailor's charts and maps since the 1300's; available in copper or brass. 

The quote on edge reads: "The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor." Oliver Wendel Holmes. 

This decorative ornament is hand finished with a protective sealant that preserves the color, luster, and sheen. No special care required. Diameter is 3.5 inches.  

It makes a wonderful gift year round and is suitable for many occasions.
