The front of the Momordica poesy print
The back of this print has an inscription that is known to the giver and recipient. It is derived from the tradition of Medieval posy rings that have secret messages of admiration and/or longing.Momordica is also known as a Bitter melon as it is a vine that bears an edible, but not tasty, little melon. The plus code on the back is 5W7C+QWW, and entering it into Google maps will show the location where the leaves were picked. The time stamp is 20240519, which is the day on which the print was finalised. The video shows the revealing of the print, pulling back the Protorhus leaves to expose the yellow of the Momordica.
