Hand-engraved stamp

This hand-engraved stamp features a coat of arms designed with Leonardo da Vinci's motto: "Ostinato Rigore". Thomas Brac de la Perrière created the piece during a national engraving competition. This is the first time that he made such a big coat of arms, and it was a great exercise to progress. Thomas still has a lot to learn and improve, but he believes this to be the same for all craftspeople. Here there is the wax impression which allows to see the details of the engraving made in negative in the matrix.
