Show your patriotic spirit with a beautiful stars and stripes wax seal necklace pendant! Within the armorial shield are 3 five pointed stars over 3 stripes under an arrow in hand.
This stars and stripes crest is very similar to the family crest belonging to George Washington, his shield with 3 five pointed stars over 2 horizontal stripes (argent, two bars gules, above, three mullets gules), which is said to have inspired the American flag.
