The Silent Watcher is part of a family of guardians inspired by the Kurgan stelae of Eurasia. These ancient anthropomorphic stones were raised as memorials, protecting both the dead and the lands they inhabited. Their endurance across centuries is a testament to loyalty and guardianship.
This gargoyle is modeled after a real Stelae in northwest Italy. This Stelae dates back to 3000 BCE and was likely carved by the Lunigiana people.
Hand-formed from clay and rooted in Virginia green jasper, this sculpture captures the spirit of a timeless guardian. His form emerges from the earth, symbolizing the ancestral reward of merging with stone and soil after millennia of faithful watch.
- ~8” tall
- Materials: Clay & Virginia green jasper
- Inspired by ancient memorial stelae (balbals) of the Eurasian steppes
