Sceptrotem
Between power and protection, these objects are androgynous.
Plato explains that originally the woman and the man formed only one being of rounded shape (with four arms, two faces), who wanted to defy the Gods. They then had the idea of splitting them in two in order to weaken them. It is from this moment that the innate love of men for each other dates.
"Love recomposes ancient nature, strives to fuse two beings into one and to heal human nature" - Plato, The Symposium.
Designed with empty round-shaped turpentine pots, tinted and woven handles and broom fringes, these scepters are on one side male and on the other female.
