Fig. B — The finished pieceSia Albandi Atelier

An ornament three thousand years old, made new. Named for the classical Greek anthemion, the floral-and-leaf motif carved into temple friezes and painted onto pottery for millennia.

Raised cobalt ceramic blooms and hand-shaped leaves sit among fractured mirror and glass, framed in a dense, architectural square. The most ornate piece in the collection.
