Bronze
of Wotan, lords of the gods, on a polished buckeye burl wood base, whose
natural fissures are inlaid with a river of lapis lazuli. Pure gold nuggets
are set into the riverbed. At the bottom of the base small knothole inlaid
with gold leaf and fire agate, represents Alberich's underworld. The mask
is supported by a bronze rainbow inset with lapis, malachite, amber, coral,
citrine, and amethyst, arching up from the base and leading to a miniature
gilded Valhalla in the mask's interior.
This sculpture is in the collection of James Morris and Susan Quittmeyer. A limited edition bronze of the mask is available. |
