Ancestor
The Ancestor sword illustrates how objects of power speak to us across the ages. The hilt is made of sterling silver, with a parchment-covered grip and silver pins. The chatoyance effect in the blade is achieved by manipulating 600 layers of steel in the forging process. Undulating grooves bring a sense of life to the severe symmetrical profile. The textures and shapes contrast with the strict geometric forms and proportions.
