Folded Leaf Rectangle Earrings with Gold - Bright Silver A133017 Moore used an old fashioned

Moore used an old fashioned technique of burning to darken the background

To bring out the blue-violet of the stone it has a pure silver back

allowing each form to shift gently and catch the light

much like the poetic form it is named after—where meaning unfolds in a few elegant lines

The figure is made in the likeness of found relics the artist saw when visiting Greece and is placed on a pedestal just as the Greek museums did with the broken and worn pieces they dug from the ground
