The Emblem of Eternity

Jenny sends a scan from Clarissa:



The principal device, neatly etched on a plate of white metal, is a crowned serpent, with its tail in its mouth, forming a ring, the emblem of Eternity, and in the circle made by it is this inscription:

CLARISSA HARLOWE.
April X.
[Then the year]
Ætat. XIX.
