Lighthouse Storm
Hannya MaskThe ouroboros, a serpent devouring its own tail, is an ancient symbol found in Egyptian, Greek and alchemical traditions representing the eternal cycle of destruction and renewal, infinity, and the unity of opposites. This version adds alchemical and astrological glyphs inside the circle, reinforcing themes of transformation and cosmic order rather than pure self-consumption. People choose it to mark cycles of change, resilience through hardship, or an interest in esoteric and hermetic symbolism.
Where it sits
The strong circular form makes this suited to the shoulder, upper arm, sternum, or the back of a calf where a round shape can sit without distortion. Because the interior symbols are small and finely drawn, sizing down much below the size shown would blur the alchemical marks together, so a chest, thigh or full back placement preserves the detail best. A forearm works if the piece is allowed to wrap slightly rather than being flattened.
Making it yours
Ask an artist for any of these.
