Stone Poetry – A slice of Home - Lucanus cervus

This Cacholong and plastic laminated brooch is part of Mette Saabye's works of artificial fossils that reflect the Danish culture in which she grew up. As a child, Mette dreamed of becoming an archaeologist. She was fascinated by history and antique cultures. She studied the beautiful dot-drawings which are used when making the registration of historical artefacts, and read articles where historians expressed their theories about ancient cultures.
