"Tilia" Sporran   2005 copper, german silver, leather, enamel.  6" high This sporran was commissioned as a suprise gift for a horticulturalist. All I was given to go on was that he is fond of the Little Leaf Linden. I remember this tree, tilia cordata, from my studies in college, and to me its most striking features are its dense, round habit and rich green foliage. This sporran is an abstraction of those traits. Return to Sporran Gallery
