DescriptionThis pendant explores the notion of an object that may be used both for ritual purposes and as an everyday piece of jewelry. Its design is inspired by the High Priest’s breastplate mentioned in the Bible. The square shape also resembles a weaving loom, referencing to the making of a Tallit (men's prayer shawl).
