hands against time beadwoven cuff

Description

From the dawn of time man has pursued art, and this cuff is inspired by that pursuit.

Millennia ago early man created marvelous creatures on walls and then signed the paintings with hand prints-- the oh so human, I Made This, or even sometimes, just, I Was Here.

This 2-drop peyote tapestry depicts 7 ochre hand prints on a cave wall and is edged in a primitive style with bone. The closure is loop and bead-- the bead being a fascinating combination of bone and stone.

The cuff is wide, at 3 and 3/8th inches (8.5cm) the widest yet from thebeadedlily and will fit up to a 6 1/2 inch wrist. It's a major statement piece for anyone who loves art and its history.

The book shot is against a cave art backdrop from Dawn of Art: The Chauvet Cave. Note the trueness of the cave colors in the cuff! The mosaic has a shot of the back of the cuff-- mirror image to the front.

Hands Against Time is an original one of kind design and is copyrighted by thebeadedlily.
