Baba oxidized

sconce

The black verison of Baba, inspired by the mystical Stone Babas, reinterprets ancient Slavic mythology through a modern material. Its elongated, solid form resembles a human head, symbolizing the connection between humanity and the divine. Black oxide evokes primal hunter instincts and replaces the natural stone of the original design, adding a contemporary elegance while retaining the essence of its origins. In Slavic folklore, Babas were sacred objects, believed to be unearthed by the earth’s movement and imbued with extraordinary power. Peasants revered these stones, offering sacrifices to ensure fertile soil and bountiful harvests. This brass sconce captures that reverence, blending the timeless mystique of mythology with the refined beauty of handcrafted design.
