This small sphere is meant to bring you a sense of wonder and peace.
The design of a Water Bird is from Minoan vase, Crete from the 16th century BCE. The sacred water bird is linked to universal myths in ancient cultures, considered to be one manifestation of the Great Goddess, Gaia, giver of life, happiness and death. This bird carries the Cosmic Egg which in Creation Myths, contained the entire Universe.
The Moon was a symbol of becoming. The Spiral designs, originally painted on cave walls, were believed to awaken the life force and aided in healing. The hands, also painted on the cave walls of pre-history, were symbolic of healing and the energizing touch of Gaia.
This piece is 3.5 inches in diameter.
