SPARTAN HELMET · ANCESTRAL TOTEM
A fusion of sculpture and painting using animal bones reclaimed from nature, giving them a second life while honouring each animal.
Decorate your home with a unique and original piece, conceived as a sacred totem that connects art, nature and our ancestral roots.
The sheep as a totem symbolises fertility, abundance, renewal and a connection with nature. Its skull, transformed into a Spartan helmet, represents the union between the strength of the warrior and the essence of the animal world.
Since ancient times, different cultures have used decorated animal bones and skulls in rituals and ceremonies, attributing meanings of protection, strength and spiritual connection to them. This artwork reinterprets that tradition, becoming a piece rich in symbolism, personality and character, ideal for those seeking distinctive décor that stands out from the ordinary.
