BYZANTINE ICON AMPHORA

A sculptural amphora defined by its softened silhouette and timeworn surface, this piece draws from early Byzantine Christian iconography, where image and material begin to dissolve into one another. The faded figure emerges through layers of terracotta and mineral wash, creating a quiet interplay between presence and erosion.

The form remains grounded and classical, while the surface introduces a sense of age not as imitation, but as intention. Subtle irregularities, tonal shifts, and controlled drips give the piece its depth, allowing it to read as both artifact and contemporary object.

Dimensions: 8 inches in diameter. 14 inches high.
