About the Item

17th century Italian hand-carved angel with applied cactus quartz crystals resting on coordinating calcite crystals in matrix. The angel artifact was once a part of a cornice in an Italian historic baroque church. The details of the angel have been recreated with the coordinating cactus quartz crystal points, also known as spirit quartz, and mounted on the calcite matrix. The piece was put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she transformed the piece and the period shows that the Italian angel is originally 17th century. Together, the angel and natural elements appear as if they evolved together over time, creating a figurative, contemporary work of historic significance.
