Vintage Black Onyx Cat Figurine - A Cat Named Mother
{HISTORY}
Meet Mother. She's your new good charm guru in the kitchen.
Striking in appearance, Mother is a vintage black onyx cat figurine who brings an artistic aesthetic to the kitchen that is steeped in symbolism.
Strong, smooth, reflective and cool to the touch, black onyx, for centuries, is believed to contain healing powers and is often associated with optimism, protection, strength, and emotional balance. Acting as a shield to ward off negativity, in some cultures black onyx is also believed to reduce stress, boost confidence, ward off evil threats and thoughts, and promote clarity and wisdom.
In other words, this cat named Mother is just the kind of spiritual helper you need when tackling a tricky recipe, hosting a dinner party, or learning some new skills in the kitchen.
Handcarved with an elegant stature and angular features, Mother is as black as the night sky, but thanks to her reflective polish, two eyes and a set of whiskers appear when she faces a light source. Small in size yet mighty in presence, her maker is unknown, but just like her powerful namesake, Mother Nature, it's not so much who made her but what she makes in the world.
Casting quite a presence when sitting on a shelf, tuck Mother into a spot in the kitchen where she'll catch your eye every day and she'll share all her wisdom with you while also loyally protecting your cooking space and all who come and go from it.
