My pieces are signed by the letter “D“ impressed with a hot stamp in the shank. The letter is stylized from the old Slavic Glagolitic script. Glagolitic script is an oldest Slavic alphabet created in the mid 9th century, which remained in use in Croatia until the 19th century. The tradition holds that the script was invented by St Cyril (by the real name of Constantin), a Byzantine monk from Solun. My wish was to create a symbolic conection between old material (morta) and the oldest script of the Slavic people. | My pieces are signed by the letter “D“ impressed with a hot stamp in the shank.
