Lantern of the Underqueen

$500.00

Lantern of the Underqueen burns with a subterranean glow—an artifact from a realm buried deep beneath memory, pulsing in hues of violet flame, molten rust, and charred ash. At first glance, it resembles a ceremonial mask or fossilized face, its layered symmetry hinting at both regality and ruin. The granular texture resembles ash, velvet, and stone—giving the sense that this vision has endured untold time.

Eyes emerge like embers, half-hidden, half-lit. The topmost region glows with a bruised aura, as though it were a psychic beacon or throne. Below, mouth-like forms curl into cryptic expressions—invoking chant, breath, and burial.

This is not a being of light, but of knowing. The Underqueen is a sovereign of forgotten truths, the guardian of intuition and shadowed wisdom. Her lantern is not to illuminate the surface, but to guide the traveler through transformation, through grief, through the veiled spaces of the soul.

Lantern of the Underqueen speaks to descent, dignity in darkness, and the divine power of what is buried but not lost.

This piece carries the weight of myth—like an anchor of shadow balancing the brighter, more floral works.
