A miniature reproduction of the Canadian Maple Leaf brooch is the commanding focal point in this design. The brooch is framed by an ornate border by Canadian artist Jan Poynter. It symbolizes the shared history between the United Kingdom and Canada with a repeating pattern of Tudor roses, thistles, shamrocks and maple leaves, each a key botanical element in the Royal Arms of Great Britain, Wales, Northern Ireland and Canada. The iconic five-point Tudor rose, with its inner and outer petals, provides a framework for a traditional Celtic braid treatment that represents the tradition and heritage that are the heart of Canadian settlement and identity.
