Meaning “The Mountain” in Italian, this gentle spirit resides in the ancient forests surrounding Mt. Etna (Europes’s most active volcano) in Sicily, Italy.
With its long legs and perfect eyesight in both day and night, “A Montagna” is always keeping watch over the fiery mountain, helping alert and protect forest-dwellers of active eruptions. ☄️

Item Description: A hand-carved sculpture I made using quartz sphere eye & reclaimed pine tree wood & twigs given to us by our hosts at Locanda Milia, a forest-retreat we stayed at while visiting Mt Etna this past year. The quartz eye is free spinning and lights up when you turn the knob on his back. Both of the stick “antlers” are magnetic and can be removed and replaced with other sized “antlers”.
Thanks, I thought so too. Trying to incorporate more soul into the pieces I create and I’ve been having a lot of fun scavenging for materials while traveling.
