Title: Guardian of the Amulet Sketched at the British Museum, this drawing was inspired by an amethyst carving that seemed to waver between a figure holding a sword and clasping its own hands. The deep blues and angular strokes reminded me of a hard, ancient sky—something sacred and protective. In ancient times, an amulet like this may have been worn for protection, buried with the dead, or kept close as a symbol of strength. Today, we might see it as a reminder—a spiritual anchor, or a quiet protector in our pockets or homes.
