Comment
After the shepherd, here is a sheep of his flock, to which however the author wanted to give a very different attitude from the usual image of the animal who always gives up, unarmed and at the mercy of the wolf. The sheep appears snappy in its race towards peace, not only in the will to wait for it, but in that of wanting and conquering it.San Marino's 1981 Mint Set
