Hierlooms

 

Questions arise about the strength of ancestors.  

What motivation spoke to my ancestor to be a silver smith? What appeal was there to grapple with hard white metal to mold it and lovingly frame it into patterns unlike any other? From what part of the silversmith's memory or imagination did this image of dots and tiny pyramids begin?

It resounds with history of elegant hands that it once adorned and beautified. 

Why was it made with numerous parts that covered the wearer's entire hand?
