This striking platter is turned from maple and expertly carved to evoke the intricate texture of a woven basket, blending woodturning with the visual language of traditional craft. Its surface is hand-painted with symbolic imagery—trees, shamanic eyes, and flowing, swirling patterns—that draw the viewer inward.
At the heart of the design lies blue Kingman turquoise, carefully selected for its distinctive black spiderweb veining, suggesting the mystery and depth of a dark moon. The rim is thoughtfully finished with a carved and painted leather lace pattern, framing the piece with a sense of strength and continuity.
It comes complete with a custom-designed display stand, allowing the piece to be beautifully showcased as both functional art and a visual centerpiece.
