Mini Apotropaion Ornament
Mini Apotropaion Ornament
Like it's larger Ophanim cousin, the Mini Ophanim is inspired by the ancient Mithraic hierarchy of angelic beings, playfully combined with the Greek mathematics of geometry and Platonic solids. The resulting tetrahedron is an every-season ornament with a rather unique twist.
This ornament is made of terra cotta clay and flashed with a black copper oxide patina during firing. A sturdy wire loop through the top final makes hanging it in your home, office, or studio space a breeze.
All ornaments are made the same way but each will have slight variations in their details such as eye color and some decorative markings.
