An old slab of sandstone, weathered by time and softened by use, now bearing a hand-carved inscription by Scottish stone carver Cameron Wallace.
“Nemo sine vitio est” — “No one is without fault.”
The phrase is Roman in origin, but its message is enduring — a quiet, philosophical reminder, crisply carved into stone that already carries a story of its own.
Perfectly imperfect, with edge wear, lichen-like patination, and beautiful surface texture — a soulful piece for thoughtful spaces.
