KISAL GOLD LEAF 24K
In the heart of symbolism and heritage, the Kisal emerges as a testament to endurance and legacy. It stands as a formidable fusion of the ancient wisdom of Assyrian culture and the indomitable spirit of Mesopotamia, symbolizing strength and adaptability in the face of adversity.
Inspired by the revered symbolism of the turtle, associated with Enki, the Mesopotamian god of wisdom and the sea, Kisal captures the essence of navigating chaos with unwavering fortitude. Like the turtle, it embodies resilience and determination, navigating the turbulent waters of existence with grace and strength.
The choice of bronze for Kisal is a nod to the protective talismans of ancient Mesopotamia, evoking the strength of bronze plates like Pezzo, crafted to ward off malevolent spirits and usher in prosperity. Like these ancient artifacts, Kisal stands as a beacon of resilience, symbolizing protection against adversity in a modern world fraught with challenges.
As the Mesopotamian turtle traversed turbulent waters with unwavering determination, so does Kisal embody the spirit of endurance, echoing the timeless wisdom of ages past. Its form and materiality serve as a bridge between ancient heritage and contemporary design, inviting us to draw strength from the resilience of our ancestors as we navigate the currents of our own time.
Kisal stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Mesopotamian culture, reminding us of the power of resilience, wisdom, and adaptability in shaping our journey through history.
