This one of a kind CERAMIC art pendant was inspired by my recent trip this past fall to Cambodia. It is formed using ceramic clay bisque fired in a kiln at 1850 degrees. Once cooled it is handglazed wth specialty glazes and refired to a hard glass finish. Just outside of Siem Reap Cambodia - Angkor Wat, the single largest temple in the world with 5.6 kilometers of circumference, is comprised of three floors and five towers on top. The monument was established in the 12th century. There are five towers and the central one is the highest at 42 meters. Considering the structure forms exact symmetry right and left, and the intervals between towers are the same, the construction of this temple is a real mystery. There are relief works featuring myths in detail carved on the walls of the gallery on the first and second floor. Nagas - In Cambodian legend, the Naga were a reptilian race of beings who possessed a large empire or kingdom in the Pacific Ocean region. The Naga King's daughter married the king of Ancient Cambodia, and thus gave rise to the Cambodian people. This is why, still, today, Cambodians say that they are "Born from the Naga". The Seven-Headed Naga serpents depicted as statues on Cambodian temples, such as Angkor Wat, apparently represent the 7 races within Naga society, which has a mythological, or symbolic, association with "the seven colours of the rainbow". Furthermore, Cambodian Naga possess numerological symbolism in the number of their heads. Odd-headed Naga symbolise the Male Energy, Infinity, Timelessness, and Immortality. This is because, numerologically, all odd numbers come from One (1). Even-headed Naga are said to be "Female, representing Physicality, Mortality, Temporality, and the Earth.".Look up Angkor Wat on the Internet to view incredible photos of this magical place! The people simply amazing and beautiful!
