Lapis Rose Scroll

A small dot of lapis rests at the center of a golden flower, set upon an old Afghan scrollwork element.

Few stones carry a relationship to place and human history quite like lapis lazuli.

For thousands of years, the mountains of the Middle East have been one of the world’s most important sources of this extraordinary blue stone, carried across ancient trade routes and transformed into beads, amulets, ornament and pigment.

Here, the lapis becomes the eye of the piece: a small window of deep sky held within gold.

The flower surrounds it like a protective emblem, while the old scrollwork carries the marks and texture of times past.

A tiny relic of earth, hand and history.
