Obsidian Cerberus

Standing guard at the threshold, the Obsidian Cerberus combines one of mythology’s most formidable protectors with a stone long associated with protection, grounding, and the unseen. Carved from deep black Obsidian, this three-headed guardian has a dark, commanding presence made for shadowy altars, gothic displays, and collectors drawn to mythological symbolism.

In Greek mythology, Cerberus is the three-headed hound who guards the gates of the Underworld, preventing the dead from leaving and the living from entering where they do not belong. His symbolism is deeply tied to guardianship, boundaries, vigilance, and protection at the threshold.

Obsidian is traditionally associated with energetic protection, truth, grounding, and shadow work. Its volcanic origins give it an especially fitting connection to Cerberus and the subterranean realm. Together, stone and symbol create a piece centered around strong boundaries, confronting what lies beneath the surface, and protecting your energy as you explore your own depths.

Weighing approximately 4 oz and measuring 2.5 inches tall, the Obsidian Cerberus may be small in stature, but its intricate three-headed design gives it an unmistakable presence. Display it near an entryway, incorporate it into a shadow-work or protection altar, or let it stand watch over your collection.

Please Note:
Due to the natural formation of stone, each piece will feature unique color variation, banding, inclusions, and patterning. Colors may appear slightly different depending on lighting and screen settings. These natural characteristics are part of what makes every carving beautifully one of a kind.
