Supporting living artists is one of my pet causes because it preserves traditional arts. I thought this silver smith did a great job of re-interpreting traditional motifs. I love the way the fish are trying to jump off the bracelet. I also like the way the foliage doubles as cresting water.
Hi Edith
Great postings!.........Is your new little man icon Cretan or Carthaginian?
The shining bracelets are beautiful. I know that personally I will always be ferreting for old/stained/grubby/dull/damaged/used to death ancient pieces but your wish of supporting young artists is very positive (when I bought pieces which looked too shiny I used to soak them in tea or coffee to try and dull the shine!).
Anyway good find.The fishe sare very lively...
The new icon is a resin reproduction of a Punic era mask found in Carthage, right near Tunis. I liked his expression...I think it is the same look I get on my face when I shop for silver in the souk!!!
I must say that this is a very good piece .
Deep and i do like the fish trying to jump off the bracelet too, a metaphor of the old trying to get rif of its stillness keeping on with new trends
This is a fantastic piece done in the old tradition, wonderfully imaginative!
