Imagine a chilling artifact: a witch’s hand, crafted from plaster and hand-painted with unsettling detail, measures 9 cm wide, 14.5 cm tall, and 8 cm deep. The hand, with its long, gnarled fingers, clutches a rose in a grip that seems both tender and macabre. Twisting around the wrist is a serpent, its scaled body coiled tightly and its eyes gleaming with a cold, predatory light, as if guarding the witch's dark intentions.
At the base of the hand, a grim assembly of miniature skulls forms a morbid pedestal, their hollow eyes and gaping mouths adding an air of unsettling permanence to the scene. The entire composition is topped with a space designed to hold a tea light candle. When lit, the flickering flame casts eerie shadows across the rose and skulls, creating a spectral dance of light and darkness that enhances the hand’s ominous allure. This macabre piece combines elements of beauty and horror, evoking a sense of dark enchantment and eternal vigilance.
