Amulets of the Sea
Hippocampus is the Latin name for the Sea Horse. I have
created many sea horse pendants over the years. They have
proven one of my most popular ceramic items.
'Kore of the Ancient Sea' is a haunting image of a mermaid
Goddess. 'Kore' is Greek for maiden. The Greek mermaids
are of two main categories: Nereids, of the salt sea; and
Naiads, of the freshwater springs.
This sculpture is a Nereid. The Nereids were the daughters
of Nereus and Doris. They were considered by the Greeks to
be very beneficent, the saviours of sailors lost at sea.
