These stoneware sconces, fashioned from red clay partially sourced from ancestral clay beds, were crafted to serve as altar to the Winter Mother and her avatars of the Cut-Wife and Aspen Maiden. Each provides ample space upon which to set lights so that she may be illuminated and drawn forth.
Her image, that of the vulture-headed woman in tattered clothes, walking barefoot upon snow and carrying both basket and sickle in hand, is painted in blood-red pigment that has been prayed and breathed upon to carry her virtues.
Each sconce measures approximately 7-8 inches.
