#Photography #Pumo

Pumo de fiure, Grottaglie, Apulia
The term pumo comes from the Latin pomum (fruit) and is said to have its roots in honoring the pagan goddess Pomona, deity of fruit, olives and grapes. In some areas of Puglia these ceramics are called Pumo de fiure (flower bud). They represent life about to burst open and flourish--symbols of abundance of the land and of birth itself, but also of prosperity, chastity, immortality and resurrection. In common use, they are put on balconies and into homes to ward off evil and Il Malocchio, or the evil eye.

Garnet and Pearls

This blessed circle of love
Is no cipher
Not a zero
Or a mysterious message.
It graced the marriage
Of ancestors Frankie and Johnny
In 1887, passed down to me,
Only Great-Granddaughter,
Treasured and cherished.
Delicate gold ring with an oval faceted dark red garnet with three tiny pearls above and below the main stone.
