Ashanti Gold & Silver Bracelet

Sterling silver, 24K gold, Ashanti gold weight

Peter Schmid of Atelier Zobel paints an exquisite picture in luscious, wearable adornment. Here, Schmid's muse is Gold; the precious material that bestowed great eminence upon the Ashanti court, an emissary during wartime and a prominent part of their trade, and arts & culture. What is faceted upon the central head of Schmid's bracelet is a partof Ashanti which remainsjust as historically prevalent as it is precious today in contemporary art.Cradled in high karat gold, an illustration in brassilluminates a refinedimageof shape and linear proportion. On the backside of the amulet is a base of sterling silver, with a mirror image of brushed gold, partitioning contrast and depth to the central piece. The body of the bracelet is that of leather, strung together, which may be fastened or loosened by the supple drawstring in the back. Twistingand turning, the hand is not stiff, nor the wrist constrained. Gilded, tantalizing charm, Schmid continues totempt us withintriguing design and provocative allurewith hisextraordinary artistic imagination.
