As an artist, I need new stimulation all the time. A trip to the museum was just what the doctor ordered. Isn’t this gorgeous? Whew! From the late 19th to early 20th century, this would have been worn by a bride in the Indonesian islands. Pure gold. A little heavy, huh? The little chains would have tinkled as she moved. I’m entranced by the detail they worked into the metal. Personally, I would’ve worn it. Shouldn’t we start a new tradition? (From the MFAH permanent collection) Next time I work in metal, I’m going to use this as inspiration!
Oh my goodness, it is SO lovely!
