About the Item

A stunning example of minimalist artistry, this striking tall pyramid sculpture from Jaru of California is a rare find, capturing the perfect balance of form and finish. Crafted from high-quality glazed ceramic, the piece is adorned with a unique gold oil drop-style finish, giving it a subtle yet captivating sheen that shifts with the light. This piece embodies Jaru’s signature modernist flair, combining elegant simplicity with textural depth. While there is a very minor scuff at the very tip of the pyramid, it does not detract from the sculpture's overall appeal. In all other respects, it remains in excellent condition—an eye-catching and timeless addition to any collection. A scarce and collectible work, this piece would make an outstanding statement in any home or office. Its geometric form invites comparisons to obelisks and other architectural-inspired shapes, and it would pair beautifully with additional sculptures in a larger collection, adding visual interest and a sense of cohesion to a curated display. Alternatively, it would stand just as beautifully on its own, its bold, dramatic presence making it the perfect focal point for a mantle, entryway console, or tabletop. The playful yet sophisticated design of this Jaru piece is sure to spark conversation and admiration from all who encounter it, whether displayed as a singular sculpture or as part of a larger collection of modernist works.
