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.

This piece is entirely handmade by the artist using natural white clay and has been fired three times in a ceramic kiln at a temperature of between 900 and 1100 Celsius 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. Finally, the piece is embellished with gold ceramic luster (which has real gold particles in it) obtained on a third fire at 750 Celsius degrees.

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.
