The space between Spirit’s eyes is a place of refuge, a sanctuary filled with life in full abundant flower that extends to all directions. With this simple, spare traditional cuff, Wings combines the symbologies of sacred space and Spirit with the imagery of the directions, of illuminating guidance and the forces of abundance. Cut freehand of heavy-gauge sterling silver, the slender band is chased with traditional imagery on all four sides: top, bottom, and either edge, all stamped deeply, consistently, and similarly freehand. At the center sits a deeply stamped ancient motif used variously to represent the force of the thunderhead, the powers of the winds and the sacred directions, and the traditional stair-stepped lines that evoke a specific kind of sacred space. It’s flanked by paired sunrise symbols, the rays emergent from a bank of clouds to create triangles that, when conjoined at their open bases, together produce Eyes of Spirit, symbols of wisdom, illumination, and guidance. The pattern alternates down each side of the band, ending in paired directional spaces and anchored at each end by a single deep flower; more flowering motifs edge the narrow sides of the band. The inner band is lined at either edge in a repeating pattern of subtler motifs of illumination, the silvery light of crescent moons. Cuff is 6″ long by 3/8″ across (dimensions approximate).
