<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bosko69, post: 4497588, member: 16283&quot;]Taupou,Komo- even though I only have a lid-the design and execution are sublime ! I was frantically scurrying around for a gift for my wife&#039;s birthday- i found this 2-3 days before the big day,it was $70-$75-but i was beguiled by it&#039;s color and design-a tiny masterpiece.</p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;ve studied Art History most of my life and this is an extraordinary mandala- a perfectly tuned-in meditative portal...the kind of door that opens when you find nature silence and still the artificial noise.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; When I gave it to her she was stunned and teared up.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; She&#039;s part Sac &amp; Fox and Cherokee-they were torn from their homes on the Great Lakes &amp; Huron and her family ended up in Oklahoma.</p><p>&nbsp; She is not too happy about selling any of our Amerindian NA stuff.</p><p>&nbsp; Her main love is tools-grooved axes,mauls,celts,etc.My greatest lost was not being able to afford an ivory and stone&nbsp; Inuit &#039;finger pit scraper&#039;-a finely sculpted tool (really a small modern sculpture-like a Henry Moore or Hepworth,much soul-you understand),but it was $300 ! F*#K-rent was $290,many yrs ago-i still see that damned beautiful thing.</p><p>&nbsp; These profound beautiful things were created for us for survival purposes for millennia and were ignored as curiosities for decades-this is ART,now we know it.</p><p>&nbsp; There is nothing primitive in anyway about these items.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; If Stonehenge or Chaco Canyon or Lascaux Cave moves you,this is why (IMO)-these are sculptures,images and architecture we (our total human collective-border less)worked on and refined for thousands of years.They speak,they sing deep-they are the human mind and soul.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
