In this work, the figure head of a mysterious Tiger-Lion made me tempera on the basis of copper and mother of pearl. Copper mosaic adorns the mane. The inscription ANIMA in Latin is translated as soul and symbolizes the living principle, life, power.

Something resembling the vine, ancient, but so familiar. The symbolism in this necklace is obvious. I wanted to join in the decorating spirit of the time of the Roman Empire, the palette of the southern city, a mosaic of archaic bygone era...

In used natural garnet pendant, agate. Beads made by hand from copper and natural stones - pink quartz and faceted gold pyrite, citrine and black pearl, labradorite and agate.

And yet - autumn mood brings back copper...
