The idea is the Mother Dragon called Antikythera is guarding the Treasure Vault .
She tasked her three babies in helping to gaurd the treasure chest.
The lid is removable and inside the Treasure Vault is a precious object that belongs to the owner of this art piece.
I designed and handmade this dragon fantasy sculpture. It is made out of silver, copper and brass. It took 500 hours to build.
The sculpture is interactive in as much that the glass and crystal vault that Antikyhtera is guarding contains a precious ring that I also made.
Made of 350 differently shaped pieces of metal and glass.
The baby dragons have 2 mm garnets set in the eyes.
The eyes are set with 2 mm cabochon garnets.
Each rear leg has 8 x 2 mm garnets set pavé in them.
There are 4 x 2 mm garnets set in the head.
There are 32 x 2 mm garnets set in the tail.
The silver columns of the Treasure Vault have 6 x 5 mm garnets set in the top
and 18 x 2 mm garnets set in the middle.
The Treasure Vault has 78 different components.
The central crystal weighs 158 carats.
