Arachne in a Glass Dome

This is a borosilicate glass sculpture of a half women and half spider creature, inspired by the mythological character Arachne who captures the eerie elegance of nature. Showcasing intricate details that reflect the delicate balance between beauty and the wild, this meticulously handcrafted glass spider sculpture is made from borosilicate glass. Nestled in a slender glass dome, Arachne exudes mystery and grace, making it a captivating piece for collectors and arachnophiles alike. Ensuring a stunning display for years to come, glass spider ornament is kiln-annealed for added durability. Perfect for adding artistic flair to any space.

Technical Features: The sculpture was created by melting glass rods using a torch and annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for long-lasting durability. I put this glass sculpture into a glass dome with a wooden bottom as if she was trapped. The size of the jar is 12x10x10 cm, and the spider women dimensions are 9x7x7 cm.

"Arachne, her name meaning spider in Greek, was a beautiful woman with a great talent in weaving. Everyone was amazed at her work, and one day, Arachne thought that she had a greater talent than goddess Athena herself. This was an offence towards the gods, a grave and even a deadly sin for the ancient Greeks. Athena transformed her into a spider to wave for all her life long."
