Hand- sculpted Fox pendant.

INSPIRATION: The messenger of the Gods…the Greeks called it metis, the quality that defines Odysseus, that ingenious and multifaceted hero who was known as ‘the man of many ways.’ In practically every ancient tradition, the Fox was considered a crafty and playful trickster, who sows chaos and mischief wherever he goes. Like Odysseus, the fox always wins against all odds through his wits and creativity. However, in Mesopotamian, West African and Japanese religions, the fox also functioned as a messenger of the gods, similar to the god Hermes, another shapeshifter and trickster. It is this mysterious role as an intermediary to the divine that interested me here, where I depicted him communicating with the sun and moon deities, which represent the duality and ambiguity of his nature. 

The Fox is part of the limited number series (only 175 will be made and each piece will be numbered in the back).
