Protector of the Palace

The opening work of the Defender Series, Protector of the Palace establishes the strength and identity of the collection. Deep red patinas rise through the center like fortified pillars, symbolizing unwavering resolve. A central bronze blade element cuts cleanly through the form—both elegant and commanding—capturing the essence of vigilance and protection.

The surrounding marble-like surface holds swirling tones of smoke, stone, and earth, giving the piece a sense of age and permanence, as if shaped by time itself. Its sculpted silhouette takes the form of an elongated diamond shield, broad across the center and tapering to precise, armored points at the top and bottom. Softly rounded edges along the midsection contrast against these sharp vertices, creating a balance between refinement and power.

A guardian in form and spirit, Protector of the Palace stands as the foundation of the Defender Series—bold, resolute, and timeless.
