Commissioned work, ostrich egg from Africa, hand-painted (acrylic, tempera, watercolor) with wild female figures and 4 turtles, the depiction is subtle and ambiguous, unique, size 17 cm. The artist studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts (Prof. Sturm). The clear egg shape symbolizes infinity and stands for life (fertility and rebirth) in many cultures. Ostrich eggs are also witnesses to millennia-old globalization in the Mediterranean region and were found, for example, in one of the royal tombs of Ur or as an Etruscan grave good (here it served as a water container).
