| Title: |
Fetish
Earrings (Limited Edition, #11 of
100) |
| Artist: |
Denise and Samuel Wallace |
| Size: |
Total length is 2⅛" |
| Description: |
Circa 1992. This is a Limited-Edition item from the "Fabricast"
line, # 69 of 100. The bezels (background) were cast in Sterling Silver,
overlaid with gold accents (the necklaces and little beads on the
female) and the faces
were hand carved and scrimshawed at Denise's
Santa Fe studio. The earrings are stamped on the back: STERLING FOSSIL IVORY 14K, and etched
"Fetish ©1992 Denise Wallace Limited Edition
#11/ 100". These earrings are based
on small carved figures created many millennia ago by the coastal people
of modern day Alaska, and show a male and female figure. A note from Denise:
"Many people ask the reason for the facial
expressions on the male and female faces. There seem to be many
different stories behind this, but the one I am going to tell you comes
from my friend Chuna McIntyre. This is a short version of the story:
"At one time there was a brother and a sister. The brother flew up to
the sky and turned into the sun. His sister flew up crying, and turned
into the moon. Hence, the reason for the upturned mouth on the male
faces, and the down-turned mouth on the female faces."" |
| Materials: |
Sterling Silver, 14Kt Gold, Fossil Walrus Ivory. |

Transformation Earrings |
| Artist: |
Denise and Samuel Wallace |
| Size: |
Triangular Bezel: about 1¼" wide and 1" tall; Total length about 2⅞"
|
| Description:
|
The cutouts in the silver
represent old ivory pictographs of a man and a seal. The ivory faces are
a man on one earring and a seal on the other. The ability to transform (
which some gifted individuals were capable of) gave the people insight
into the hunting manners of the animals--the seal being one of the most
important for its meat, skins and oil. The ability to appease the
animals is essential to successful hunting and the survival of the
people. |
