Tree pendant

The artefact

The decoration of this fine pendant in glazed ceramic in vibrant light blue with touches of third-firing lustre, reinterprets the charismatic figure of the Nuragic pintadera, an archaic well-wishing seal for bread. Handcrafted, it is decorated with blends of crystal and glazes personalised by this ceramist and finished with hand-woven cord.
