For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she from her poverty, has contributed all she had.
The engraved sun symbol is international and meaningful. Ancient cultures made the connection between the sun and their survival. Because it’s such an ever-present part of every day, the sun’s significance throughout history has always been apparent.
