Carved Whale Bone Wrapped in Sterling Silver Pendant Frame

About the Item

Intricate carving of a green-eyed man entwined with a snake. The snake eyes are rubies. The back of the piece feature carvings of leaves, representational of the fall harvest. The Green man is believed to symbolize the cycle of life, death and re-birth. The symbol of godhood within the male and its relationship with the transcendent life force our goddess, the female expression of divinity. He is a Pagan symbol who heralds spring after a long winter and the renewal of lush vegetation. Signed and stamped 925 A wonderful piece, could be worn or hung from a knob. Very well done. The surrounding sterling sheath is made custom to the piece and has a substantial hanging disc. Be creative.

  • 17th Spanish Sculpture in Carved Silver Gild Wood Saint Michel, Castilia
    Located in Valladolid, ES
    One of a kind Baroque Spanish St Michel sculpture. A museum piece !! The artistic imprint shows the typical Castilian traces in the conception and interpretation of the subject. This allows us to frame the attribution to a close circle of the stela left by Gregorio Fernández (1576-1636) in the very recognized Castilian circle. The artist responsible for the creation of this magnificent carving has undoubtedly been trained in the footsteps of Fernández in the Castilian Baroque context. He powerfully remembers the Archangel San Miguel preserved in the reliquary of the Church of San Miguel de Valladolid; belonging to the first third of the seventeenth century. Both carvings show great parallels in the spatial conception, in the configuration of the cloths...
