The eye charm

Approximate measures 10,5 x 12 x 1 cm

The eyes have always been a symbol of protection. Their image is related to the sun and to the light, and the act of seeing expresses a correspondence to spiritual action and thus with THE understanding. Among the Egyptians, the "divine eye" symbolizes "the one who feeds the sacred fire or intelligence in man". The eye is a symbol of protection that is common to many cultures, because the ability of "seeing" is what saves us from deception and traps.

The Limia Crafts project is created by the artist Elara Elvira. Each of these pieces is handmade from natural white clay and is fired two or three times in a ceramic kiln at a temperature of between 900 and 1100 degrees. In the first firing (bisque) the ceramic pigments are settled and it is in the second firing that a layer of transparent glaze is applied, to achieve a shiny and waterproof finish. It can be used for wall hanging inside the house or outdoors in the garden.

As it is a handmade product, each piece is unique and has unrepeatable characteristics that make it a true artwork. Some pieces may have slight irregularities and, in some cases, there may be minor variations in colors or finishings with respect to the photographs. Each piece in this shop is checked and selected for its quality.

Each of the pieces is accompanied by a small leaflet on paper with an exclusive design. The leaflet comes in two languages (English/Spanish) and the texts depicted are a small summary of the research and symbolism behind each of the pieces.

*Precautions when hanging the pieces. Do not hit. It is recommended to hang it with a headless nail or with a thin rope. Make the hole on the wall before hanging.

*The pieces are sent in a double box with specific protective materials to provide the highest possible security in transport.
