Mother Goddess Pendant
The artefact
This large pendant evokes the archaic Mother Goddess figure of the pre-Nuragic civilisation in a contemporary key through the use of fret worked silver foil using different methods to set the four different stone types: pink quartz, obsidian, lapis lazuli and brown diamond. Realised as a unique piece, it is part of this goldsmith's experimental collection.
