Guardian of the inner child – woman's head with birdcage – traditionally fired clay in an archaic form – Item No.: SKU142

It arrives safely packaged in recycled cushioning material, measuring 13x13x13cm and weighing 1.2kg.

This sculpture embodies the quiet power of the archetypal: a woman's head, before her a rusted birdcage. Inside lies a swaddled baby, carefully wrapped in jute and nestled on moss – an image that resonates deeply within one's own senses. It invites you to connect with your inner child, to heal old wounds, or simply to honor the gift of new beginnings within you.

You can decide for yourself in what form this artwork accompanies you. With the cage in front, it becomes a powerful reminder of the fragility and, at the same time, the strength of your own soul fragments. If you remove the cage, the woman's head transforms into a vessel shape that you can use as an offering or sacrificial plate for your rituals.

Created using traditional smoke-firing techniques, the sculpture bears the marks of fire and change. Every detail – from the rough jute and moss to the aged cage – underscores the symbolism of protection, confinement, and transformation.

This work thus becomes a versatile companion that can unfold its power both as a spiritual art object and as a ritual vessel.
