Description
Glazed earthenware tile, 4″x4″
Each tile has been painted with cobalt underglaze. I have hand-drawn and used a sgraffito technique to scratch the surface of the underglaze to create the image.
Tiles are glazed and can be grouted onto walls or kept as beautiful pieces.
The sirens that charmed Odysseus in Homer’s poem were daughters of a river god, part woman and part bird. They lured sailors onto rocks with their fatal song; only those who could not hear them were safe. They are figures that were taken to symbolise temptation and were later amalgamated with stories of mermaids.
