Artist's Comments
Sixteen face pendants, mostly carved nut hulls (different types of walnut*). All to the same scale; smallest is about 7/8 inch, largest 1-1/4 inch. The last one is made from a eucalyptus seed pod; it has glass eyes, wood teeth, a brass cord tunnel, and glass rattle beads trapped by a wood back. Some of the others have glass eyes and other neat little details.
There is a really large version downloadable. And I've uploaded a view of the back of #6, which is ornate: [link] *One person told me the black nuts (9 & 14) are kukui nuts (Aleurites moluccana), also called candlenuts, but most of the online pictures of kukui nuts I've looked at seem much rounder and smoother than these. |
