The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone in the front of the neck, positioned between the lower jaw and the larynx. It supports the tongue and provides attachment points for muscles involved in swallowing and speech.
The Design
We put a lot of care into hand-sculpting this piece, taking our time to shape and refine the design.
Made by Us, From Sculpture to Finish
We sculpt the original by hand in our Swedish workshop. We make the mold, cast the pendant in lead-free pewter, and finish each one by hand. The surface is oxidized to bring out the details, then polished by hand.
