Scarce Japanese Burl Root Carved Sculpture. Exceptional size and form, magnificently embodying the wabi-sabi philosophy. Hollow interior, could be use for flowers or other storage. 

Size: 17 x 11 1/2 x 23 1/2 in.

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. It embraces the natural cycle of growth and decay, valuing modest, weathered, and unique qualities over artificial perfection. The term combines two ideas: "wabi," relating to humility, simplicity, and being in tune with nature, and "sabi," relating to the beauty that comes with age and wear. 

All items are sold AS IS. Lot and condition details are for descriptive purposes only. Sarasota Estate Auction is not responsible for errors and/or omissions of condition. The absence of a condition report does not imply that the lot is perfect or free from wear, flaws, or characteristics of age. Please bid according to your own expertise, or request any additional information and/or photographs you deem necessary.
