The medieval judge (2020) 彫刻 Elena Uljancic によって

A unique handmade artwork ceramic figurine, "The medieval judge" belongs to the series of small, original sculptures with fully-formed facial expressions and decorated bodies. For each of my figurines there is a background story of sorts.

This is my medieval judge.
Even though he might look like a nice elderly English uncle, I see him as a serious figure too: one who's always caught in an internal struggle between the law and justice. He's got milder with age though, just as he never found any pleasure in punishing people. He symbolizes wisdom and goodness. There is something endearing about him too.

This is my story of this particular figure. But, if you guys happen to like or want to buy my sculptures, feel free to give to these figure any name you like. Or don't call them anything, and instead just enjoy them. Perhaps eventually you might come up with a story of your own.


As a final note: this particular technique – ceramics - is completely unpredictable. So due to its nature, and the way the items are made, one can never tell the final result with certainty. You couldn’t, even if you wanted to, get two exactly same figures. Each one is totally unique.

So, if you feel you have someone unique in your life, someone who you think deserves a unique gift, this is your place.
That special someone might be you.
