A gold ‘dragon’-handled cup, Yuan dynasty (1279-1368),

The cup has a shallow bowl with rounded sides raised on a gently flared ring foot. The handle is exquisitely executed in repoussé from two gold sheets as a dragon head suspending a loose ring from its clenched jaws.

The cup is chased with a narrow band of foliate scroll below the mouth rim, and the bottom of the interior is chased with three peony blossoms borne on leafy, scrolling stems on a stippled ground within a 'bead' border.

4 3/8 in. (11.2 cm.) wide; weight 72.1 g.

À la base l'inspiration venait des bijoux berbères. Les artistes (de 5 à 10 ans) s'en sont emparés, pour créer leurs propres parures. Attention, ça brille !

Here is the Arts & Crafts version, entirely handcrafted, of my art book Forgotten Gods.

We printed it with @psycheophiuchus , using our own presses on Vélin d'Arches paper. Each design in the book was then screen-printed by hand with gold and colored inks, with up to five different screen-printing passes depending on the complexity of the pages.

Once the sheets were folded and gathered into signatures, Sophie Charlot, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, meticulously bound them by hand. Belfea Archerie created all the leather parts and applied the dyes. Together, we assembled the covers on the book bodies bound by Sophie, and I gilded the cover with gold leaf (using three different shades of 22-23k gold).

Finally, I made the wooden cases and covered them with fabric. We then attached the clasp and the repoussé leather medallion, dyed by Belfea and gilded by me.

All the illustrations were printed using our presses; they are fine art prints on velvet-finish paper. With Psyché, we enhanced about thirty of them with gold (using several shades of 22-23k gold) to match the appearance of the original artworks. These illustrations were then hand-glued and protected with tracing paper, also hand-glued by Psyché and me.

King of Gods has represented a significant part of my work in recent years. It has been a passionate and enriching adventure, in the true spirit of the Arts & Crafts movement and in the footsteps of the Kelmscott Press. Thank you to everyone who worked on this book.

[vague-abondage]

J'ai pardonné des erreurs presque impardonnables, j'ai essayé de remplacer des personnes irremplaçables et oublié des personnes inoubliables. J'ai agi par impulsion, j'ai été déçu par des gens que j'en croyais incapables, mais j'ai déçu des gens aussi. J'ai tenu quelqu'un dans mes bras pour le protéger. Je me suis fait des amis éternels. J'ai ri quand il ne le fallait pas. J'ai aimé et je l'ai été en retour, mais j'ai aussi été repoussé. J'ai été aimé et je n'ai pas su aimer. J'ai crié et sauté de tant de joies, j'ai vécu d'amour et fait des promesses éternelles, mais je me suis brisé le cœur, tant de fois! J'ai pleuré en écoutant de la musique ou en regardant des photos. J'ai téléphoné juste pour entendre une voix, je suis déjà tombé amoureux d'un sourire. J'ai déjà cru mourir par tant de nostalgie. J'ai eu peur de perdre quelqu'un de très spécial (que j'ai fini par perdre). Mais j'ai survécu! Et je vis encore! Et la vie, je ne m'en lasse pas. Et toi non plus tu ne devrais pas t'en lasser. Vis! Ce qui est vraiment bon, c'est de se battre avec persuasion, embrasser la vie et vivre avec passion, perdre avec classe et vaincre en osant... parce que le monde appartient à celui qui ose! La vie est beaucoup trop belle pour être insignifiante !"

Ring

Anglo-Saxon, 775-850 CE

The inlaid gold and filigree jewellery of the seventh century was largely replaced in the early eighth century by silver work as a consequence of the increasing scarcity of gold. The focus on silver gave rise to new decorative schemes: the material lent itself to different techniques such as repoussé, chip carving and the openwork seen on the present ring. The growth in popularity of these decorative techniques was accompanied by a distinctive development of zoomorphic style, characterized by lively beasts, interlaced meshes and speckled surfaces, all of which are present in the central roundel of this ring. Examples of high quality silver jewellery of the period from which the present ring dates are relatively rare. The abandonment of the pagan burial practice of interring grave goods with the deceased has led to the survival of fewer pieces. The majority of those that have been found were preserved as a result of their casual loss and the provenance of this ring, found in the Thames, suggests that it too is an example of accidental misplacement.
