This piece is a hymn of shadow and fire. A deep black Gothic cross forms the foundation—smooth, austere, and solemn as midnight stone. Across its arms and edges cling crimson accents, glowing like embers smoldering in a cathedral of darkness. The contrast—black against blood-red—gives the cross the aura of something forged in ritual flame. Surrounding it are multiple deathshead moths, each one detailed with their iconic skull-marked thorax. They seem to circle the cross like silent sentinels or spirits drawn to the heat of its crimson core. Moths are symbols of night-vision, mystery, and the soul’s restless pull toward transformation. Their presence here intensifies the talisman’s power, turning it into a badge of shadowed insight and fierce protection. The entire piece looks as if it was discovered in a forgotten crypt or beneath the floorboards of an abandoned chapel—holy, haunted, and alive with meaning.
