I design, carve, and cast the pieces myself: they’re wholly original. I cast them in modified gypsum, and we then glaze each piece by hand. The pieces come boxed, can stand or hang (there's a hook on the back, which is flat and unpainted), and can go outside. Each piece comes with a history card stating:
The husband of St. Anne, Joachim was the father of Mary, and thus the grandfather of Jesus of Nazareth. The best-known story about him is this: childless late in life, Joachim goes into the desert to pray for a child. In a vision, he is told he will have a child, and he rushes back to the city, meeting Anne at the city gate, where he tells her the good news. In this piece, Joachim has his right hand upon Mary=s head; in his left hand he holds an image of one of the gates found in ancient cities such as Jerusalem.
Dimensions: 8 x 3 x 1.25 inches
