Large Double Kuro Jade Māori Sculpture from New Zealand

About the Item

An impressively large jade sculpture for table or desktop. In Māori style from New Zealand, the heavy jade Nephrite slab (also known as “pounamu”) was carved and polished into the "double Koru" swirl patterns and displays mesmerizing variation of green colors and natural veins. The symbol of "Double Koru" represents two lives joined together with love, friendship and harmony for a lifetime. The sculpture was purchased in Arrowtown, New Zealand and comes with a gallery paper note as shown.

  • Large Contemporary Japanese Woven Bamboo Sculpture Mimura Chikuho
    By Mimura Chikuho
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A contemporary hand-woven bamboo sculpture in an organic form by Japanese bamboo artist Mimura Chikuho (1973-). Named "Cloud on the Peak", the piece was made as one of his series in 2004. Entirely hand-woven in irregular plaiting, the artist challenged the traditional bamboo basket making and elevated it into modern abstract sculpture. The minimalist donut form resembles the hat-shaped cloud formed around the peak of the mountain (often seen on Fujisan in Japanese art). It displays a wonderful subtle undulation and irregularity in its organic shape, achieved by a mastery of the traditional technique. The irregular plaiting appears chaotic in its busy crossing patterns yet as a whole, the piece strangely quiet and introverted, demanding contemplation from the viewer. Signed "Chikuho" underneath in Kanji. The piece comes with its original storage paper box and a silk bag. Provenance: Purchased from Tai Gallery/Textile Arts now (Tai Modern) in Santa Fe. Mimura Chikuho was born in 1973 in Tokyo. He studied under Yufu Shohaku...
