CEMÍ - PLATAEste arete es mi versin de un cem tano. El cem es un concepto tano que designa una deidad o espritu ancestral a ciertos objetos. Para los tanos, dicho espritu viva dentro del cem. Esta versin del arete es de plata esterlina . 925. Segn relata el cronista Fray Ramn Pan en su obra Relacin acerca de las antigedades publicada en 1498: "Unos contienen los huesos de su padre y de sus antepasados; los cuales estn hechos de piedra o de madera algunos que

Este arete es mi versión de un cemí taíno. El cemí es un concepto taíno que designa una deidad o espíritu ancestral a ciertos objetos. Para los taínos, dicho espíritu vivía dentro del cemí. Esta versión del arete es de plata esterlina .925.

Según relata el cronista Fray Ramón Pané en su obra Relación acerca de las antigüedades publicada en 1498: "Unos contienen los huesos de su padre… y de sus antepasados; los cuales están hechos de piedra o de madera… algunos que hablan, y otros que hacen nacer las cosas que comen, y otros que hacen llover, y otros que hacen soplar los vientos."

La representación de los cemíes adoptó diversas formas, pero una de las más características es la de los "trigonolitos" que, como su nombre indica, son piezas de piedra labrada con forma triangular, parecido a una montaña. Cemíes de esta forma se encuentran mayormente en el oriente de la República Dominicana y en Puerto Rico.

Este arete está inspirado en una colección de cemíes encontrados en el interior de Puerto Rico. Lo llamativo de este tipo de cemí es su innegable parecido a los picos montañosos del Caribe. Sabemos que para los tainos sus dioses vivían en los picos más altos de las islas, por lo que se ha propuesto que este tipo de cemí representa a la divinidad creadora o a alguna otra fuerza natural.

Cada pieza se fabrica por encargo utilizando la antigua técnica de fundición "Cera Perdida". Por esa razón se le pide 1-2 semanas para la producción de su pieza.

This earring is my version of a Taíno "Cemí". The "Cemí" is a Taíno concept that designates an ancestral deity or spirit to certain objects. For the Taínos, this spirit lived inside the "Cemí". This version is solid sterling silver.

As recounted by the chronicler Fray Ramón Pané in his work "List of Antiquities", published in 1498: "Some contain the bones of his father ... and of his ancestors; which are made of stone or wood ... some that speak, and others that give birth to the things they eat, and others that make it rain, and others that make the winds blow. "

The representation of the "Cemíes" took different forms, but one of the most characteristic is that of the "trigonolites" (three-pointers) which, as their name suggests, are pieces of stone carved with a triangular shape, similar to a mountain. Trigonolite "Cemíes" are found especially in the eastern Dominican Republic and in Puerto Rico.

This earring is inspired by a collection of "Cemíes" found in the interior of Puerto Rico. I was inspired by the shape of these "Cemíes" for their undeniable resemblance to the mountain peaks of the Caribbean. We know that the Taíno gods lived on the highest peaks of the islands, which is why it has been proposed that this type of Cemí represents the divine creator or some other natural force.

Each piece is made to order using the ancient "Lost Wax" casting technique. For this reason, 1-2 weeks are required for the production of your piece.

Un chewable
Color: Blue/Green, Size: 2 in
I have two grand dogs, actually three but one of them can chew most balls apart in a matter of a couple of hours I bought these balls. They’re great because the dogs can easily pick them up. They’re a little smaller for the smaller dog. I wish they made larger ones. I haven’t seen them anyway, but this dog cannot chew this apart at all, so I don’t have to worry that they’re eating any rubber or plastic. I highly recommend them.

Very sturdy chew toy
Color: Bacon
My Frenchy loves it! He’s not a large dog, but big for a French Bulldog. (32 lbs). He chews both ends, but prefers the snout. The eyes are cute, but began to peel off within the first week. I easily removed what was peeling. Half of the paint remained intact. When necessary, I will definitely replace it with the same toy.

Great chew toy, long lasting

This chew toy has been amazing. We have had it for 2 months with 2 dogs chewy on it and it is still going strong. We have a large Golden who chews on everything and and German Shepherd. Big dogs who chew aggressively. Very impressed! Would definitely buy again!

Perfect for young pups who get bored easily!
Color: Bacon, Color: Bacon
Our pup recently turned 1 and gets bored very easily, so she’s always looking for something new to chew or play with. We got her this little alligator toy and she is OBSESSED with it! She carries it everywhere and plays with it constantly. I’m honestly surprised by how durable it’s been considering how much use it gets. If you want to help save your furniture and household items from becoming chew toys, do yourself a favor and grab this for your pup!
