Carved into the silhouette of a stylised amphora, this striking fossil sculpture of orthoceras and ammonite evokes the elegance of a ceremonial vessel. Its gently tapering body and upward-sweeping handles form a symmetrical, flame-like outline—reminiscent of a ritual totem or ancestral beacon. The central point rises like a flame, symbolising transformation, continuity, and the enduring spark of ancient wisdom.
Embedded within the polished stone are Orthoceras and Ammonite fossils:
- Orthoceras, with its elongated, orthoconic form, channels themes of evolution, grounding, and past-life recall.
- Ammonite, spiralling at the heart, embodies cycles of rebirth, protection, and cosmic harmony.
This piece serves as both a sculptural centrepiece and a metaphysical tool—ideal for anchoring energy during transitional phases, honouring ancestral connections, or deepening meditative practice. Its marquise-like silhouette enhances its symbolic resonance, suggesting balance, flow, and sacred symmetry.
