INPIRATION | Dioscurides Neapolitanus (Dioscorides of Naples)
7th century manuscript, a depiction of a mandrake plant (Mandragora officinarum)
The mandrake is a plant with an interesting human-shaped root. It was attributed magical powers, and was not only consumed, but also worn as an amulet against demonic possession, a cure for infertility, and a mascot that brought good luck and happiness. It has a very diverse cultural history, dating back to the world of ancient medicine and mysticism. It was used as an aphrodisiac, a sleeping pill, against rheumatism, and to treat many diseases.
Description
I make these special works of art from thin gold-colored metal sheets, with meticulous, jewelry-quality workmanship, and hand embossing. Each piece is made individually, by hand, NOT with a printing stencil. They are almost like a piece of jewelry on the wall. Each piece is unique, no two are the same. On the back of the picture there is a brand mark and signed by the artist, Erika Baglyas.The picture frames are unique pieces, I will discuss them with you when ordering. They will be shipped very carefully packaged.
