This form of vessel was most frequently made of terracotta and functioned as a drinking cup for wine. The \u003cem\u003ekantharos\u003c\/em\u003e shape is anthropomorphic in nature: the outstretched arms of the cup are designed to always rise above the lip, embodying a posture in worship. The metaphoric comparison between the vase and the human body is well established since antiquity: Cicero remarked, “for the body is like a vase and like the vessel of the soul.” This form of Greek drinking vessel is labeled as \u003cem\u003ekylix\u003c\/em\u003e by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and\u003cem\u003e kantharos \u003c\/em\u003eby The Art Institute of Chicago.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI hand carved the pendant out of wax and the piece is one-of-a-kind. The pendant is casted through the lost-wax method in 100% recycled gold. I designed each pendant as a panel with concave beveled corners and relief design– an homage to the decorative panels in antique Chinese furniture as well as Renaissance \u003cem\u003ebasso-relievo\u003c\/em\u003e sculptures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% recycled 14k yellow gold pendant on a new 14k gold chain. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChain is adjustable to lengths of 16.5\", 17.5\" and 18.5\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePendant measures 19mm x 11.5mm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio Yolanda Jin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54100189872433,"sku":null,"price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/1114\/2705\/files\/DSC05876.jpg?v=1779411187","url":"https:\/\/studioyolandajin.com\/products\/relievo-necklace-kantharos","provider":"Studio Yolanda Jin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
