Cycle of life is a large pendant that has two central elements into its story: Buddha in raku ceramic work and a bone hand carved skull from Upper Asia. Life and death, the cycle of life; endings that take us to a new start, the celebration of life. 
Made in solid pure copper with natural patinas this focal element seems to had been rescued from an ancient temple or found in a secret forest with visual impact close or from afar in a wow way.
Pieces like this are created with fire, hammer, muses and.. time. No just the time my hands provide but the time for some patinas to grow and thrive, some in special bowls, others buried in the ground or even set on the grass for long time allowing the elements to do their work, is no painting nor bottled syntheticpatinas on them.
It measures no counting the floating bail 108 x 41mm approx.
