The Swan Maiden Objet d’art is a visual ode to the Swan Maiden Myth. The Swan, crafted in Sterling Silver, can be lifted off the glass lake and held in one’s hand. She has a hinged section in her feather cloak, which reveals a secret compartment to store a keepsake. She glides across a lake of glass which sits inside a large, natural, Mother of Pearl Shell. The Shell itself is supported by fish and Eels which are crafted in Bronze. The Swan Maiden is accompanied on the lake by three fresh water fish, a Giant Kokopu and an Upland and Redfin Bully, each native to New Zealand. Nestled on the shore of the lake to one side, is a pile of river stones with moonstones set in amongst the sterling silver pebbles. On the other side of the lake is a cluster of water lily pads crafted in sterling silver with droplets of water represented as moonstones.
