Bedel van zilver van een molen c. 1953 - 1970

This is a silver windmill charm by G. Foreman. Isn't it interesting how something so small can evoke so much? I wonder if Foreman felt like a giant, carefully constructing a world in miniature? I imagine the delicate work, the focus needed to translate something so grand into such a tiny form. The surface, with its subtle sheen, almost feels alive. I think about the history of windmills – their connection to the land, to industry. How can you distill something so powerful into just a few grams of silver? Maybe it is about capturing the essence, the spirit of the windmill. It reminds me of artists who work with found objects, transforming the everyday into something precious. It's like a secret language, where scale shifts and meanings multiply. Foreman’s charm speaks to the power of transformation.
