AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
257 g – 5.5 x 3.9 x 10.9 cm
This extraordinary skull combines the mystical depth of the ocean floor with the ancient symbolism of the moon. Made from Sea Shell Marble – a stone formed from fossilized marine fauna – it carries the memory of prehistoric life and the slow, powerful processes of the Earth. The white, shell-like veins run through the deep black stone like streaks of light in the cosmos, like star paths that have manifested in stone.
The shape of the ascending crescent moon gives him the energy of change: the moon – always in transition, guardian of the night, mirror of the unconscious – becomes here a bearer of a memory of transience and rebirth. The skull itself appears as a threshold between worlds, between body and mind, earth and sky, becoming and passing away.
In spiritual traditions, especially in tantric Hinduism, this stone is often called the 'Shiva Stone': Shiva, the Lord of dissolution and transformation, bears the moon as an eternal symbol of new beginnings. It is this very power that breathes life into this artwork. It encourages letting go of the old and facing change with head held high – brave, clear, and free.
Every pattern, every line is naturally grown and unique – a dialogue between craftsmanship and primal nature. The contours are precisely crafted, the surface finely polished, yet full of archaic depth. This creates a sculpture that is as geologically fascinating as it is symbolically powerful.
'Shiva’s Crescent' is a statement – an object that tells stories.
From the sea. From the moon. From change.
And of the courage to embrace one's own transformation.
