Description from the seller
This magnificent life-sized skull carved from fine black obsidian is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and symbolism. The smooth, glossy surface of the volcanic stone captures light in an extraordinary way, creating deep reflections that highlight the realistic details of the face: from the dark, hollow eye sockets, symbolizing introspection and mystery, to the precisely sculpted jawline, which gives this sculpture an almost lifelike appearance.
Black obsidian, known as the 'Stone of Truth,' has been used for centuries as a protective amulet and spiritual tool to unveil the deepest truths of the soul. Its powerful energy is associated with protection, purification, and the ability to reflect everything hidden in the shadow, making it perfect to symbolize a meaningful icon like the skull. The skull itself is an ancient and universal figure, linked to the cycle of life and death, but also to transformation and inner wisdom. In many cultures, it is seen as a symbol of protection against evil spirits, a guardian watching over souls, and a reminder of our mortality.
This black obsidian sculpture is not only an element of extraordinary beauty but also a powerful symbol of awareness and reflection.
