River of Styx

Detail of the inside of the glasses. The wearer is forced to be face to face with this family of forgotten people. The two brass "coins" represent the coins you would put over your eyes to take the boat across the river of styx. This piece took a good chunk of time to make. what i am really happy with is i found two tintypes of the same family in the same pose! it's really hard to find two of the same photo! I need to take a model shot so ya'll can see it worn.


Materials-copper, reticulated brass, fine silver, sterling silver, garnet, tintypes
