Pandemic Amulet: Master Healer: With a Little Bit 'O Luck

An amulet confers protection upon its possessor. Derived from the Latin word amuletum, the use of amulets was once widespread among many cultures and societies. They were used for protection and as a means of "reaffirming the fundamental fairness of the universe". Becker's Pandemic Amulets are contemporary guardians. They are frozen Charlotte's fantastically adorned with objects like the beak masks of 17th century plague doctors, hand or wing charms, rosemary or evil eye beads. Like worry beads, these objects occupy the hands and still the mind. Every selected object is a symbol of protection, guidance, goodness, health, and prosperity.

Thank you so much for all the care
Dear Nicole, Yes, the sculpture arrived and is much more beautiful in person. I have been thinking of it since your first posting and was trying to wait until the show, but I just couldn't. I was sure it would be snapped up before I could order it. I love your gallery, and I am a collector of living artists. Thank you so much for all the care you give to your customers and to your artists. Sincerely, Roberta
