Dove & Glove Intaglio
A hand carved and unique Georgian era carnelian intaglio featuring imagery of a dove of peace, with ubiquitous olive branch twixt beak, coming in to land on an outstreched hand
Why we love it
This is one of Emma’s favourite intaglios that she has ever had in stock
It is just too good
The beautiful curves of the carnelian, the absolute masterclass in hand carving craftmanship
And the imagery, the likes of which Emma has never seen before
The reference to Noah’s Ark where the dove, carrying the olive twig, symbolises the end of the crisis
And in modernity the notion of peace coming in to land in our own hand, a sign of having survived the worst and the dawn of a much longed for settled, safe life
Make it sing
