Every element in this complex design represents a different political, historic, geographicand social aspect—it represents our story as a nation, all conveyed by the intricate engraving and careful use of multiple finishes.In the foreground, Canada rises up strong, majestic and bold; she bears a youthful appearance, given Canada's status as a relatively young nation. Canada is the picture of grace and a vision of strength in her protective armour; and yet, she carries no weapon—a symbolic nod to Canada's historic peacekeeping role,and our efforts to bring peace throughout the world. Her brow is wreathed with a glorious garland of poppies, much as the lyrics to O Canada affirm in French. Facing out as though looking to the future, Canada's gaze is calm and steady while her arms are open wide, ready to embrace what challenges and triumphs lie ahead. In one hand is a symbolic representationof the British North America Act, which representsthe birth of the Dominion of Canada 150 years ago; in the other hand is a single feather that pays tribute to those who helped forge our nation's path: the First Nations peoples and the Fathers of Confederation. A fur cape is a further reminder of First Nations traditions, as well as the importance ofthe fur trade in Canada's early history.Thirteen rays of light—one for each province and territory—shine down upon Canada, while the waves at her feet represent the oceans that surroundus. The Canadian banners link air, land and sea while in the background, Mount Logan (Canada's tallest peak) represents the diversity of the land, and alludes to the ability of Canadians to "rise" to the challenges we face—yesterday, today and tomorrow.ShippingShipping cost: FREE ShippingDelivery time: 1 - 5 daysPaymentWe accept the following payment methods:bank transfercredit / debit cardPayPalPlease contact us if you have any questions.
