Description
This bracelet assumes the form of an curving lioness, its claws reaching round to touch its own tail. The artwork, Sekhmet, is inspired by the Egyptian goddess of war and healing. This intricate feline sculpture, with elegant and powerful contours, is crafted from granite with eyes defined by 18 carat gold, elevating the regal appearance of the work and underlining its associations with the divine.

The Ancient Egyptians, with their respect of the sacredness of animals and the animal form, have provided inspiration for Harumi across her artistic practice. Works such as Sekhmet pay homage to the animal spirit that resides in us all; the lioness's golden eyes appear to gaze beyond the known world into a greater depth beyond, perhaps fixed upon an unseen prey, or perhaps looking towards the realm of the divine.
