The geography and agriculture of the Southland region is represented in the mountainous background. The daisies called Clemesia are a type of mountain daisy only found in the area. Mitre ornaments reference Christchurch being a Church of England settlement, and strengthen the relationship of the piece to the Christchurch Coat of arms.
The motto "Strength in Hope" is a translation from the Latin Coat of arms motto "Spe fortis"
The design is very much a 'ralphi' (Lauren Marriott) result, true to her form and quirky take on subject matter.
