In prayer and in ceremony, seeking the illumination of visions and the wisdom of dreams, the spirits shelter us in a lodge of shadows and light. With this vintage-style cuff, Wings places the lodge squarely between rays of sun and lines of shadow, with Eyes of Spirit guiding from either side. The cuff is wrought of heavy-gauge sterling silver triangle wire, the apex sharp and the angles deeply slanted. All the way around the center, Wings has scored sixteen deep lines entirely freehand, eight on each side of the midpoint, leaning toward each other on an inward diagonal facing the center and wrapping around the top sides of the band. The pattern creates a single focal triangle visible on either side, the lodge at the center of shadows and light. Extending beyond the scoremarks on either end are three Eyes of Spirit on each angled side of the apex, for six per end and twelve in total, each diamond shape formed freehand in the old way with a single short chisel-end stamp, and each linked to the next with flowing horizontal lines formed by the same stamp. Water patterns trace the inner band; each end, filed smooth and richly textured, is flattened and hosts a single stamp: a heart on one end and a flowering blossom on the other, both the fruits of the work of the spirit. Cuff is 6″ long by 3/8″ across (dimensions approximate). Other views shown below.
