Spiritual decoration made of clay and finished in a smoke firing - altar cave art - power animal bear sculpture - shamanism

This sculpture, measuring 14x9cm and weighing 870g, arrives securely packaged in recycled cushioning material.
This unique sculpture of the bear as a spirit animal is an impressive work of art, perfect for any altar or spiritual space. Handcrafted using the traditional smoke-firing technique, this sculpture evokes ancient cave art and brings profound spiritual meaning to any room. The bear as a spirit animal represents strength, courage, and healing, and is a symbol from shamanism that can help you unlock your inner power. Ideal for meditation spaces, altars, or as a decorative addition to your home.

The bear is a power animal that embodies various meanings and qualities. As a symbol of groundedness, courage, intuition, and strength, the bear is often seen as a companion who teaches us to use our energies carefully and to find our true strength in stillness.
The bear gives us the courage to accept challenges and the strength to achieve our goals. With the bear by our side, we feel safe and secure. He accompanies us on our journeys and never leaves us alone. The bear radiates a contagious calm. He reminds us to use our strength wisely and not to willfully put ourselves in dangerous situations.
Similar to how shamans believe there is an otherworld from which powers flow, we sense an invisible but existent source of power in the bear.
My clay sculptures and jewelry pendants are less replicas of excavated treasures than my own intuitive interpretations. I allow the creation of each piece to unfold naturally, always inspired by my knowledge of the Neo- and Paleolithic periods, as well as by my extended stay in mystical England many years ago.

Each of my manufactured pieces is 100% made by my own hands, without the use of molds, stencils, etc., and is therefore unique, which is further enhanced by the random coloring during the firing process in the fire.
My works are not glazed but receive their silky matte sheen through polishing with agate before firing, which enhances their beauty from within.
Working with clay and then firing the pieces in fire grounds me considerably - I would be very happy to share this feeling with anyone interested in my pieces.

I am happy to implement commissioned work or my own ideas for a specific piece of work, provided it is compatible with my way of working.
Feel free to contact me about this.
