• Lot Description:
  A Fine Old Natural Burlwood Flying Bird Okimono, Japan 19th to Early 20th Century
  this beautiful and mysterious object is a burlwood Okimono from Japan. It is in the form of a flying bird and was likely made in the late 19th Century to early 20th Century. This artwork has been in my home for many years and it still delights the eye to see it each day as if seeing it for the first time. For me, it looks like a large bird just taking flight from a baren tree. No matter what side you look at there is always something new in the form.
  59 x 56 cm
• Provenance:
  The Todd Barlin Collection of Asian Art
• Notes:
  The Japanese aesthetic of using natural forms in wood with minimal additions by the artist are some of the most beautiful objects in my collection. An Okimono is a carved Japanese decorative object created specifically for display. This is a Wabi-Sabi Okimono may have been used in tea ceremonies.
