Description
Necklace made from brass rings and 8mm hematite beads. The rings are made of so-called "jewellers brass" which contains less zinc than normal brass which makes it more gold coloured and less yellow. The rings are connected by the "Japanese 4 in 1" chainmaille weave, that was originally used for samurai armour. The larger rings were hand cut by myself.

In a legend about the foundation of the ancient city of Carthage, Dido was a phoenician princess who came to north Africa as a refugee. There she asked for a piece of land, as large as could be encircled with an oxhide, which was granted to her. By cutting the hide into very thin stripes and putting those together, she was able to encompass an entire hill, on which the settlement of Carthage was established.
