Daniela Banci, Moses - Aaron. Drama of words Brooches, 2023, sterling silver, 750 gold, chalcedony, rock crystal, w 5.5 cm × h 7.5 cm

The work is dedicated to Moses as portrayed in the Studiolo of Urbino and in particular to his bond with his brother Aaron, who God had chosen to be his voice. Moses faltered with words which  were uttered freely and frankly by Aaron, 'He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be as God to him'. (Exodus 4:16) The two lateral brooches identifying Moses  and Aaron are composed of chalcedony triangles placed on a rectangular structure of silver round wire. The brooch dedicated to the Word of God features a chalcedony triangle and two faceted rock  crystal elements identifying the Father and the Son.
