Relieve Habitable para una Fragil Humanidad (Inhabitable Relief for a Fragile Humanity) was made by Dora Vasquez. She says, “Stone has always been an element of our first and primitive development -- a basic weapon to defend us against adversity in a newborn civilization.” The 47 x 57 mm (1 7/8 x 2 1/4-in.) pendant/brooch is made of sterling silver and turquoise. This piece appeared in the July 2008 issue.
