About the Item

A beautiful box hand-crafted from Hawaiian Koa by the infamous artist Po Shun Leong. The box is perfect for storing jewelry since the interior is lined. The lid opens and closes easily. The bottom of the box is hand signed and dated, "Hawaiian Koa Po Shun Leong 1983." Po Shun Leong (born 15 March 1941) is an English artist, former architect, sculptor and furniture maker.[1][2] He was born at Northampton, England, and educated at the Quaker Leighton Park School in Berkshire, and then at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, and has resided in Southern California since 1981. He is also known since the late 1980s for his highly intricate one-of-a-kind wood boxes, some now in museum collections. The Landscape box, a constantly evolving series since 1983 is architectural in character and built up of many different woods in their natural colors. They are inspired from ancient or legendary civilizations. He maintains a studio in the garden of his residence in the City of Winnetka in the San Fernando Valley, north west of Los Angeles. He continues to make elaborate wood objects and is developing a line of simple, sculpturally inspired furniture.
