Auspice Maria Cutting Board — Virgin Mary Monogram
Auspice Maria is Latin for "under the protection of Mary." It's an ancient Marian symbol that has appeared in churches, artwork, jewelry and more. Like many others before me, I delicately intertwined the letters A and M, surrounded them with flowers, and added a crown to honor her as Queen of Heaven. That design is engraved on this round wood cutting board, and my hope is that it will be a daily reminder that you are loved and protected by Our Mother Mary.
Mary may have walked with you your whole life, or you may be getting to know her slowly. Either way, this board is made to be used, whether for chopping and serving or leaning against the backsplash. It's a lovely gift for Mother's Day, a baby shower, a bridal shower, a housewarming, or anyone with a special devotion to Mary.
Product Details:
◾ 10.5" round, available in maple, cherry, or walnut

◾ Finished with food-grade natural mineral oil
◾ 100% designed and crafted here in our studio in Crystal Lake, IL
Because it's real wood, the grain and color will vary a little from board to board, so yours will be one of a kind.
Care Instructions:
Wash by hand with mild soap and warm water, dry it right away, and please don't soak it or put it in the dishwasher. A little food-safe mineral oil every so often will keep the wood looking rich.
