Plate with Swallows
€115.00
Aluminum round plate with swallows.
Inspired by a prehistoric fresco from Thera, this piece celebrates Cycladic art’s fascination with swallows, symbolizing spring, nature, and rebirth in the archipelago’s rocky landscapes.
In frescoes, the depiction of swallows is a rare allusion to courtship in Aegean art, representing love and tenderness without direct human intimacy. Birds and animals shown in pairs offered a graceful way to express these themes.
