Roman glass beads, ancient Himalayan rock crystal, silver
mm high
58mm wide
mm deep
Think of how many hands these ancient beads have touched. From the Romans who first made them, the craftspeople who carved them from mountains, the archaeologists who found them, the dealers who brought them to me – with centuries between each stage. No blasting here – just digging, digging, digging, by hand. And here they are for you – testament of man’s endurance on the Earth that nurtures and protects us. No blasting here – just digging, digging, digging, by hand.
Please note, this artwork is currently on exhibition at Belconnen Arts Centre and will not be available for pick-up or delivery until the exhibition has closed. Please check the Belco Arts website for exhibition dates.
