Ouroboros Plate
Ouroboros Plate
The ouroboros is an ancient symbol—the snake devours itself, seeing its own tail as a separate creature to be consumed. Often in western culture, we overvalue individualism and see ourselves as completely separate beings from one another. The ouroboros is a reminder of the truth. We are beings defined by our relationships to one another.
New this year, these ouroboros plates are thrown off the hump and feature a foot - unlike previous version as that I’ve made from a slab.
I paint the snake on by hand and carve away the details. Each plate is a little different, and the photos reflect the slight differences.
You may choose a 4” 5”or 6” plate. The 6” plate is highly discounted because there is a stress crack in the center of the piece which does not go all the way through the plate.
