A rare sterling silver & rhodonite modernist Flying Saucer ring from Kaunis Koru in Finland c. 1970s - measures 1.25” diameter at top, size 8 US! Available... www.rubylane.com/item/1879775... #handmade #kauniskoru #finland #pekkapiekainen #modernist #spaceage #flyingsaucer #ring #wearableart #art

A super rare vintage 1970s handmade sterling silver and rhodonite modernist asymmetrical geometric design cocktail ring designed by Pekka Piekainen during his time at the Kaunis Koru design studio in Helsinki, Finland. An exceptional ring in all regards! Large size, incredible design, superbly crafted, and incredibly rare! The Kaunis Koru workshop is known for its beautiful jewelry, and this ring is a great example of the finest! They are also know for using top quality stones, and the rhodonite cabochon in this ring is a beautiful example with an almost even split between the pink and the black areas. Also, notice that the stone is set at an angle to the plane of the 'dish' section of the ring, and that the bezel tapers around the stone adding to the asymmetrical design! Subtle but glorious detail! Measures just over 1-1/4" diameter at top, rises 3/8" above the finger, size 8, and weighs a substantial 14.2 grams total. The stone measures 1/2" in diameter. Marked as shown with Kaunis Koru studio mark, silversmith mark for Olavi Wehmersuo, the Finnish national mark for silver, "925H" for sterling silver (the H stands for the Finnish word for silver, "Hopea"), Helsinki city mark, and date letter "T7" for 1972. Kaunis Koru was a design studio, so they never made the items themselves, they contracted with local silversmiths, in this case Wehmersuo. Over the years, most of the greats of Finnish Silver design worked at Kaunis Koru including Pekka Piekainen, Bjorn Weckstrom, Mirjam Salminen, Paula Häiväoja, and many others. I have been a fan of Finnish Design for many years, in particular the metal arts and jewelry, and I have never seen this ring design before or since! Super rare design no doubt created by Piekainen in the 1960s, this example made a bit later in the early 1970s. Excellent vintage condition.

Franz Sedlacek : Sturm (Storm), 1932 oil on plywood Belvedere Museum, Vienna More info in the alt text 👇

The painting depicts an eerily illuminated, ghostly mountain landscape.

The Subject:
A distinct, spectral white deer or fawn is seen fleeing along a rocky mountain path.

The Atmosphere:
The composition features heavily darkened skies, foreboding storm clouds, and twisted, bare trees. The sharp contrasts evoke an allegorical sense of quiet awe, mystery, and impending catastrophe.

Red slate dagger with a bear head, from Pyhäjoki, Finland. Neolithic Stone Age (c. 5200-1800 BCE). Found in a gravel pit excavation site. This artifact is well-preserved with no signs of wear. Perhaps a ritual implement?

Decapitated Ball Player with Seven Serpents Sprouting from the Neck carved stone relief c. 400-700 CE Classic Veracruz culture Aparicio, Veracruz, Mexico #handmade #carved #stone #relief #Mesoamerica #MesoamericanBallgame #Aparicio #Veracruz #Veracruzculture #decapitatedplayer #sevensnakes #symbol

The Aparicio site was built by the Classic Veracruz culture (sometimes called the Gulf Coast culture).
This civilization flourished in the modern-day Mexican state of Veracruz during the Mesoamerican Classic period, roughly between about 400 to 700 CE.
This civilization was intensely focused on the Mesoamerican ballgame. Their largest and most famous urban center was El Tajín, located further north of Aparicio, which boasts at least 18 individual ballcourts.
Aparicio is an archaeological site located in the municipality of Vega de Alatorre in Veracruz, Mexico.
The site is famous for its well-preserved, relief-carved stone plaques (ballcourt panels) depicting ball players.
These famous carvings frequently depict a decapitated ball player with seven serpents sprouting from their neck, symbolizing fertility and ritual sacrifice associated with the game.

The King of Egypt as a Lion Subduing a Nubian carved gold, Egyptian Blue pigment c. 1279-1213 BCE Reign of Ramesses II Ancient Egypt #ancient #art #ancientart #propaganda #ancientegypt #RamessesII #ideology #conquest #newkingdom #egypt #gold #EgyptianBlue #pigment #flywhisk #whip #MetMuseum #NYC

This piece, fashioned from Egyptian Blue and gold, presents a striking image of the head of a Nubian man engulfed by the jaws of a lion.
Egyptian blue is the world's oldest known synthetic pigment, created over 5,000 years ago in ancient Egypt to mimic expensive natural stones like lapis lazuli and turquoise. Made by heating a precise mixture of silica (sand), copper (like malachite or metal filings), calcium (lime/chalk), and an alkali flux (such as natron or plant ash). Heated in a kiln at temperatures between 800°C and 1000°C (about 1,470°F to 1,830°F) for hours to form a glassy blue compound, which was then cooled, crushed, and ground into a powder paint.
Though compact in scale, the piece is monumental in its ideological intent. Most likely the terminal of a ceremonial fly whisk or whip, the handle is more than decorative; it is a potent visual expression of royal power and Ancient Egyptian supremacy.
The lion, sculpted in lustrous gold and detailed with stylised precision, symbolises the pharaoh himself, a living god and the ultimate authority over Egypt and its dominions. Its grip upon the Nubian's head is not merely violent but
symbolic, embodying Egypt's dominance over its southern neighbours and reiterating the pharaoh's divine role as protector and conqueror.
The object is said to originate from Qantir, in the eastern Delta region of Egypt, the site of ancient Pi-Ramesses, the grand capital city established by Ramesses II. In the king's day, this area would have been a flourishing centre of political power, military activity, and artistic production. Situated strategically near the route to the Levant, Pi-Ramesses was both a royal residence and a critical base for Egypt's northern campaigns. Its palatial complexes, temples, and extensive workshops made it one of the most
important urban centres of the New Kingdom.
This object is now on display at the Met Museum, NYC, after being gifted by the Norbert Schimmel Trust in 1989.

Junge Künstler DDR-UVR exhibition poster 1988 István Orosz (b. 1951) Hungary Created for the joint exhibition of young artists from the Deutsch Democratic Republic (DDR) and the Hungarian People's Republic (UVR). #IstvánOrosz #graphic #art #artist #Hungary #JungeKünstler #surrealism #postmodern

István Orosz (b. 1951) Hungarian graphic artist, illustrator, poster designer, and animated film maker. He was trained as a graphic designer at the University of Arts and Design in Budapest. After graduation in 1975 he began to deal with theatre as a stage designer and animated film. Later when poster came to the center of his interest also made mainly theatre, movie and exhibition posters.
His individual graphic works of art are often related to postmodernism by archaic forms, art historical references, stylistic quotations and playful self-reflection. Themes of the natural sciences, especially of geometry and optics appear in most of his works. He is also concerned with the theories of vision and sight such as the way the beholder’s hypothetical expectations influence the visual and empirical perception of spatial constructions. He is likely to experiment with the extremes, paradoxes of the representation of the perspective to create the illusion of space.
Orosz is a regular participant in international art exhibitions, poster biennials, symposiums and filmfestivals. Film director at the Pannonia Film Studio in Budapest, professor at University of West Hungary in Sopron, co-founder of D.O.P.P. designer society, and Hungarian Poster Association. He was elected to the Alliance Graphique Internationale and the Hungarian Academy of Arts and Letters.
