Commemorate the 200th birthday of Louis Braille with this limited edition, ivory-colored cast resin plaque. Each plaque - signed and numbered - has a texture reminiscent of finely sanded wood.

Tactile artist Ann Cunningham set out to create a tactile version of our Louis Braille Bicentennial icon, designed by Judith Krimski. Ann's beautifully sculpted rendition took our breaths away. Everyone who saw it wanted to own one, so we asked Ann to create a limited number. It makes a perfect gift for someone very important, or to honor a colleague or teacher. And don't forget about yourself!

The 11" x 9" plaque is the perfect size to enhance any desk or bookshelf. You can hang it on a wall or display it on the wire stand that comes with each plaque.

Each hand-cast work of art has small differences indicative of the individual attention each piece requires. This is the opportunity of a lifetime to own a real collectors item from a respected tactile artist.
