Glazed Stoneware
Approx 34cm x 8cm
This large stoneware bowl has been hand built and hand painted with traditional oxide paints.
At the center of the design is the eye, a powerful symbol found in many cultures and alchemical traditions. The eye represents perception, wisdom, and protection, often seen as a safeguard against harm or the "evil eye." In alchemy, the eye also symbolizes the "inner vision" required for spiritual enlightenment and the ability to see beyond the material world into the realm of transformation.
Surrounding the eye are various creatures, each carrying their own meaning of prosperity and abundance and serve as guardians of good fortune, prosperity, and safety, creating a piece that evokes both protection and the promise of prosperity.
