The element of Fire is creative and destructive. Fire can protect us -- keep us warm, used for cooking, and to ward off the darkness of night. Without the fire of our Sun, there would be no daylight. Fire is the element which fuels our passions. Fire can only survive through consuming another element. Fire gives energy and light but if uncontrolled, its destructive aspect will consume all things and darkness, making all things barren.
Fire is one of the four classical elements in ancient Greek philosophy and science. Fire is considered both hot and dry, and according to Plato is associated with the tetrahedron. In one Greek myth, Prometheus stole fire from the gods to protect the otherwise helpless humans and was tortured for his kindness.
Rich glowing Fire Red and a bright Flame Yellow enamel are layered over the deep guilloche engraving on the barrel mixing together to emphasize the gentle curves of the deep engravings on the barrel, the combination representing strength and passion as an element.
The flowing engraving design is offset by the crisp outline of horizontal lines and diamonds in the fire red enamel set into the gleaming sterling silver cap. |
