Climbing the Sacred Line

Defined by movement, geometry, and symbolic stealth, Climbing the Sacred Line is a sculptural silver iguana brought vividly to life. Perched as though mid-ascent, the pendant captures the dynamic posture of a climbing reptile—its tail arched in rhythmic segments, limbs contoured in high relief, and head lifted with forward intent. Abstract etchings along its body nod to pre-Columbian design motifs, blending organic realism with stylized abstraction. Crafted entirely in silver and suspended from a black leather cord, this piece balances a sense of motion with striking verticality. The underside reveals thoughtful finishing, ensuring wearability from every angle. As with many of Ciec-Sipán’s works, it’s more than adornment—it’s a symbol of adaptability, grounded vision, and ancestral memory.
