Poseidon Hair-Dagger
Inspired by the Greek Poseidon. God of the sea, storms, horses, and earthquakes.
A walk through the art:
At the pommel and each handle end is a trident. According to sources such as Theogony, the Cyclopes forged the thunderbolt for Zeus, the helmet of invisibility for Hades, and the trident for Poseidon after the three brothers freed them from imprisonment. The trident's power was immense, capable of creating storms, shattering cliffs, causing earthquakes, and bringing forth springs of water.
Beveled onto the trident on the pommel is a horseshoe (facing upwards so it's luck never runs out). The horseshoe symbolized Poseidon's connection to horses.
Two seahorses stand at attention at the center of the design. Seahorses were Poseidon's divine charioteers. Poseidon is often depicted in ancient art driving a shell-chariot being pulled by seahorses. Also referred to as hippocampus, they symbolize the bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, combining the grounded strength and swiftness of a terrestrial horse with the fluidity and mystery of the sea creatures.
Across the handles are an assortment of seashells.
On the crest is Gerald the dolphin leaping up to say hello to you. Poseidon is often depicted with dolphins by his side and frequently used them as his messengers. According to myth, Delphinus, who was the King of Dolphins, was the one who persuaded Amphitrite to eventually accept Poseidon's proposal. As a reward for his loyal service, Poseidon placed Delphinus into the night sky creating the constellation known today as Delphinus. This is not at all a fact but I like to believe that Gerald emerged to take over Delphinuses reign as King.
Above Gerald is a splash of the sun.
Below Gerald the first levels of the sea emerge and you can see a school of jellies floating by.
Materials: Silver Finish: steel and zinc. Gold Finish: steel and 8kt gold. Nickel, tin, lead free.
Dimensions: Measures six (6) inches long
Uses: while it is designed to be a hair-stick, hair-sword, or hair-dagger, it can also be used as an athame, altar decor, letter opener, bookmark, decor for a potted plant, a prop for an art doll, or tucked into a belt, thigh garter, or hat band. I'm sure there are even more ways to slay.
