Momo Glassworks BM-219 Zigurat Med Pendant

Ziggurat /ˈziɡəˌrat/ from AKKADIAN ziqquratu.

A ziggurat is a rectangular temple or terraced mound built by ancient Assyrians and Babylonians (Mesopotamia). The word means "height, pinnacle." Some people believe the top of each ziggurat was used as a shrine. Others believe it was a high place where priests could seek refuge during floods. The bail is silver-plated brass with a lacquer finish to protect it and to minimize tarnishing. Chain is rhodium-coated sterling silver snake.

Dimensions: 0.75" x 1.5"

About Momo:

We met in Andalucia. Partly because of a dog. And we traveled all over Spain that first year and as we went we read a book out loud together called "Momo."

Later on, when we started working together and putting names to things, the title of that book resurfaced, bubbling with meaning. If you'd like to know why, you should read it yourself. But without giving it away: It is an allegorical story that asks big questions about work and time and modern life.

We haven't figured out the answers to any of those questions yet. But the asking of them guides us from one day to the next as we make these tiny little things and hang them on your ear to wear.
