« Catoptric Ring », Otto Künzli (*1948). Bague dessinée en 1988 et réalisée en 1992. Or et miroir
Catoptric désigne en grec ancien le miroir. Le miroir intégré dans la bague reflète l’œil de la personne qui la porte, lorsqu’elle l’observe. Otto Künzli est connu pour sa conception de bijoux qui s’inspirent souvent, dans une forme cryptée, à des thématiques sociales ou politiques.
