Henbane is a "love" herb, used in love potions during the Middle Ages because it was thought to attract love and bind couples together. However, it was also highly toxic and could cause death! If used sparingly, it has a mild sedating effect, and can even give the sensation of flying to its users.
Each of these Illuminated ornaments is hand enameled onto white glass and gone through multiple firings to build up color and transparency in the glass. Each is finished with a metal edge, and then gilded in 18k gold foil, much as the original grotesques would have been. WHile these are not exact replicas of the groteques, I did a lot of research to develop a similar style.
Hensbane, with the chain,  is 13 x 7 and suitable for wall hanging.
