Medieval Lace Etching with Pink Tourmaline Pendant

$166.00

This one of a kind pendant features a hand-traced and etched design depicting the “Phyllis and Aristotle” motif.

This kinky scene was actually a common design motif used in the Late Middle Ages to highlight a weakness of even the wisest of men- lust for a powerful woman. I found this image in a manuscript from 1535 which featured images for lace and embroidery designs.

Below the acid-etched image sits a pink tourmaline surrounded by a lace-like beaded wire, a call back to the original intent for this design.
