M303 aubusson cartoon mirrors and baroque pearls are put

and baroque pearls are put together in a sculptural form - creating a pair that appears to have evolved together over time

The crown is made of hand-carved wood with a centered pediment detail of a cross surrounded by carved gold foliage

The piece is inspired by "The Sacred Heart" in Catholic art history which symbolizes God's unconditional love for mankind

hence the name pyrophyllite from the Greek pyros (fire)

and a theory of origin is they are a fossil replacement
