In the center is an incised eye with a polished red pupil surrounded by micaceous clay slip. Sergio said of his eye design:
“In many cultures, the eye represents spiritual awakening and enlightenment. For me, this is my rendition of the theme. It is a symbol of protection, of being watched over. On this plate, it is a guardian, the eye surrounded by flame.”
