Fleur de lis Tabletop Metal Art, Housewarming or Office gift “How’s ya mama an’ em?”Chester Allen New Orleans artist Louisiana State symbol

This is from a tabletop art series.
The fleur de lis express how you process the world. (Is it right for Louisiana, for my family, for scouts, for Canada etc)
There is a colloquial phrase in New Orleans, “How’s ya mama an’ em?” This is the name of this brass mobile art piece.
It’s no secret that New Orleans is rife with the symbol of the fleur-de-lis, adorning wrought iron fences around the city, present on almost every tourist souvenir, and of course emblazoned on Saints helmets. But its history is more complex than we
often care to acknowledge. The fleur-de-lis (sometimes spelled fleur-de-lys) has associations reaching across the globe, from ancient Egypt and

Babylonia, to the Roman Catholic church and the French monarchy. Its representations have transformed over time, spanning from a symbol of purification and luxury to one of slavery and punishment. In order to truly understand the place the fleur-de-lis holds in New Orleans culture, we must first understand where it came from.
