The Piásimo Pendant - Hades' Grasp

Based on the traditional Mano Fico, also known as the Figa, this pendant is intended to be a symbol to ward off evil and protect the wearer. The inspiration behind it was Hekate, the Greek goddess of witchcraft, the moon, and femininity. In her hands she carried a key and a torch. The key was to the underworld, and the torch illuminated the night.  

In the story of Persephone, Hades captures her and tricks her into eating the fruit of the underworld; the pomegranate. Persephone eats 6 seeds and is forced to live in the underworld for half of the year but could spend the remaining six months with her mother, Demeter. 

This large Figa is completely hand-carved with a hand grasping a pomegranate, a 'tattoo' of a corpse flower on the wrist, and a skull ring on one finger inspired by a vintage biker skull ring once seen by our CEO. 

10% of each purchase will be donated to The New York Women's Foundation (nywf.org) to aid in their mission of advancing justice for women and families.
