In the face of this young emperor, we can read a hope and optimism that transcends the bounds of time. Though great empires may rise and fall, the human race always manages to survive, even to prosper. We recognize in this youthful ruler qualities of good faith and a belief in the future which have endured through the ages. Adornment for those who have learned from the past but always look to the future.
