This saying has biblical origins in the gospel of John, and was reimagined further in a poem by Sir Thomas Wyatt. Although different meanings have been translated from both of these sources, this time we have used it as a talisman for bodily autonomy. In a time where rights over people’s bodies are being controlled or stripped away, we wanted to bring new meaning to the phrase. Here ‘Noli me Tangere’ screams ‘Touch me Not’ to those who would strip away reproductive rights for people who should have the choice. Do not touch my body, for it is mine alone to govern.

The buckle has been hand carved and cast in white bronze as a belt slide. It can be slid over the ribbon (or other 2 inch belt) and tied behind you, or sewn to one end of the ribbon then looped around the front. Each buckle is antiques with patina to bring out all the details and give it a well worn, ancient look. Please make a note in check out if you would like the ribbon end sewn to the buckle.

Each piece is made to order so please allow 3 weeks for production. Also note that slight variations in color happen due to the nature of the patina.
