About the imagery: Catherine sits at her desk, writing.
Behind her is a lily (for purity), a book (for scholarship), and a lectern (for oratory skills). An Egyptian cat
(symbolizing independence) sits in front of a window showing the famous lighthouse of Alexandria (one of the world's
“Seven Wonders”), symbolizing enlightenment.
Catherine is framed by a circle, symbolizing the infamous wheel. A border is formed by lotus flowers, the Egyptian
symbols of rebirth. On the right are hieroglyphs depicting a bee (for industry), an owl for wisdom, and the scales
of justice. |
