Runku Ring, kantu

Among the treasures of Chavín goldwork are small plaques and ornaments hammered into form - compact, fluid, yet alive with a force that has not diminished across millennia. The design that inspires the Feline Ring is one of these: a feline rendered in profile, body coiled with swirling energy, a central eye-like motif watching from within the curling lines.

On the ring, this being appears not once but three times - wrapping around the hand in continuous procession, as if the feline is always arriving, always present, always watching.

The hand is the place of action, creation, and offering. What you carry here, you carry into everything you do.
