This is another version of the diamond spiral parabolic dish. Deeper indentations around the boundaries produce a resemblance to a 6-petal blossom. With this dish I was more careful about gluing the foil to the panels, with smoother results. Some spiral panels are built of a rough stippled art paper; producing a silken texture; others are built of smooth board, generating a shinier appearance.
I can see it lighted as here, and hanging above us in the Temple.
ReplyDeleteI feel a close-up portrait of the Sun god would be appropriate on such a dish, as in my "Sol Invictus" image, but in oil. Mercury might work too. These are definitely altar pieces or otherwise mounted sacred works in the Temple of the Beautiful Boy.
