# **Rare Vintage 1960s Great Seal of the United States Original Folk Art Wood Plaque**
### **Entirely Hand-Drawn in Ballpoint Pen by Artist "Mohsen" — Late 1960s JFK / RFK Era Tribute Piece**
Up for sale is a truly remarkable, one-of-a-kind piece of American political folk art. Measuring an impressive **20+ inches in diameter**, this massive wooden plaque features an incredibly detailed rendering of the **Great Seal of the United States**, executed entirely by hand using a ballpoint pen.
Every single element—from the intricate cross-hatching on the eagle's feathers to the perfectly steady lines of the sunburst rays and the sharp lettering of *"E Pluribus Unum"*—was meticulously inked directly onto the wood surface. The piece is hand-signed by the artist, **Mohsen**.
### **The Historical Backstory**
Crafted in the late 1960s, this monumental project carries a profound historical legacy. It was originally created as a labor of love and deep reverence following the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The artist intended to personally present this magnificent masterpiece as a tribute gift to **Robert F. Kennedy (RFK)** during his historic political journey. Tragically, due to RFK’s own assassination in 1968, the meeting never took place, leaving this extraordinary piece of history frozen in time.
