Ancora Imparo

Michelangelo scribbled "Ancora Imparo" in the margin of a sketch when he was 87 years old. It means "I'm still learning," and if the painter of the Sistine Chapel can live by these words, so can we. Michelangelo's motto is immortalized on a wall plaque with an inner core of cast resin and on outer shell of pure bronze.

Measuring 6 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall, they're handcrafted, with no two being the same. Polished, it will shine like gold. Left to weather on an outside wall, it will acquire a timeless green patina.
