Into the winter dawn and its fiery carnelian glow descends a tiny reindeer, ready for rest after a long night’s journey across a frozen earth and sky. Wings calls the a tiny member of the hoof clan into being to continue his ancestor’s tradition of giving via worldwide flight on a winter’s night. Like his famous grandfather, this newest reindeer red nose relies on his red nose to lead the way through the dark wintry night to a safe landing in the nascent light of dawn. Cut freehand from sterling silver, ears, antlers, hooves, and tail are all individually articulated, with sunrise symbols adorning the first and last; tiny wingéd butterflies dance across the tips of his antlers, perhaps the secret to the length and altitude of his flight. A stylized heartline stretches across his upper body, a pair of crescent moons to light the night terminating at either end in sunset and sunrise. His nose is a flame-red round carnelian cabochon, the color of the sun’s fire in the earliest moments of the morning. Reindeer stands 1-5/8″ across at the widest point by 1-3/4″ high at the highest point; cabochon is 3/16″ across (dimensions approximate).
