Decorative object

The ceramic object is hand built, with grogged clay. It has a geometric outline, which merges “w” and “n” shapes together. The top part of the “w” is open and hollow, with the possibility to be used as a vase. The object is inspired by the Georgian “Asomtavruli” alphabet, which is the earliest (5th century) script amongst three writing systems, which co-existed in Georgia. The particular script was mostly used for inscriptions on stone or capitals, therefore the simplicity of the object's unglazed, geometric shape resonates with the archaic feel of ancient stone-carved Georgian inscriptions.
