The Moon's Labyrinth on a Plate

The Moon Labyrinth on a Plate is part of a series of labyrinths engraved on ceramic plates. The ceramic works by Polona Zajc’s “Pottery Art: Clay Design” also feature depictions of labyrinths of all kinds. This particular labyrinth is the Labyrinth of Sensations, or the Moon Labyrinth, in its natural, receptive form. The plate is handcrafted on a potter’s wheel from gray clay. The shape of the Moon Labyrinth is carved into it. It was fired at a temperature of 1210°C. The clay plate features various carved patterns painted with colored glazes, while the labyrinth is glazed with a shimmering, iridescent sky-blue glaze. The details are accented with real gold. The plate has a diameter of 31 cm. The labyrinth design gives the piece special significance, both for the person wearing it and for the surroundings in which it is placed.

Pottery art clay design by Polona Zajc

Pottery art clay design by Polona Zajc features clay plates in her collection. Each clay plate represents its own labyrinth design. These are sources of power that are very much active. Having power does not mean having access to a large amount of energy, but also having access to a great deal of intelligence. And this is how labyrinths work. Usually, they are built on the ground so that one can walk along their paths. On these pages, however, you’ll find labyrinths depicted in ceramics. We can also “walk” through these as we follow their paths, drawn or carved into the clay.

Labyrinth of emotions

The Labyrinth of Emotions, or the Moon Labyrinth, is one of the oldest forms of the labyrinth. Its design is based on one of humanity’s oldest symbols: the spiral. Emotions and feelings accompany us throughout our lives. The truth is that we rely on them without exception. That is why balanced emotions are extremely important for successful interaction with others, as well as for our relationship with ourselves. Instability in this area leads to hypersensitivity, agitation, and anxiety. Consequently, all of this affects our behavior. This natural, receptive form of the Moon’s Labyrinth will create inner emotional stability, strengthen understanding of others, enhance spiritual sensitivity, and increase warmth in our behavior toward others and in our acceptance of them. The Labyrinth of Feelings will always draw people to it. The plate featuring the Moon Labyrinth is particularly suitable for places in need of healing.
