When she was consulted, she was thought to have sat upon the three legged tripod of Apollo deep within the subterranean levels of the site of Delphi, which was considered to be the center or ‘navel’ of the world and the site where Apollo slayed Python, son of Gaia, a serpentine\/dragon-like monster. It is from the rotting corpse of Python beneath the temple, that Pythia gets her name. Much like modern divinatory requests, it seems the Pythia was consulted for ubiquitous queries such as ‘whom should I marry?” to more potentially history changing questions from rulers about to go to war. In every instance, the Pythia’s divinations were considered to be coming directly from Apollo and therefore unimpeachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBats and their cast wing and leg bones have long been a component I’ve used in my visual library as a way of creating a personal visual language. As nocturnal creatures, I feel a kinship with their natural predilection for the night time hours, but I’m also interested in how they use sonar to ‘see’, how as a metaphor bats as liminal creatures also remind us to look closer with our other senses, a way of ‘seeing the unseen.’ It’s my hope and intention that pairing them with other chthonic imagery and myth further adds to the visual meaning I’m aiming for, creating a collage of personal ideas while also tethering these physical jeweled objects to the spirit of the bat ( and other natural objects in the case of other jewels in my collection ) and to the spirit of the myths I’m invoking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Details* :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 58 mm from top to bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- 37 mm wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Solid Sterling Silver  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth pendant and chain are\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e hand oxidized to achieve our favorite shade of stormy gray and then highlighted to reveal the bright luminous silver beneath\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Set with one 30 x 45 mm oval shaped Rainbow Obsidian cabochon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRainbow Obsidian:\u003c\/strong\u003e is a natural stone.
