14K Gold Join or Die Snake Pendant

Joe Wall Americana Collection

This collection is dedicated to great moments in American history.  We can learn so much from our history.  These amulets keep these moments and stories alive and keep our passions burning ever stronger today.

Joe has rendered Ben Franklin’s historic political cartoon, “Join, or Die” into a 14k gold pendant. The broken sections of the snake  symbolize the American colonies and helped illustrate the importance of colonial unity.  This would become a symbol of colonial freedom during the American Revolution.  Each of the colonies, as they appeared on the cartoon, are embossed along the side of snake sections: NE, NY, NJ, P, M, V, NC, SC
