"Makie" Size: 2.46" Price: SOLD


This is the pinnacle of everything that Masa has created up to this point in time, his greatest and crowning achievement! There is a detailed mandala on each side of the marble, with extraordinarily intricate decorations around the equator as well, all meticulously carved into the glass. The most amazing thing though is of course all of the various colors of silver leaf which Masa decorated the entire piece with. Every single minute little detail had to be individually embossed with the silver leaf, a mind numbingly immense task, even for the Japanese, ha. The result is a true marble masterpiece, an heirloom for the ages, a one of a kind gem that will WOW every single person who ever sees it. And trust me, this piece is far, FAR more amazing in hand than these pictures can convey. I honestly don't care if it ever sells, but I wanted to put it out here for the world to see. No doubt some lucky soul will soon scoop it up though, and you will be grateful for the wonders of Masataka! Signed in the lid of the box it comes in Kanji with 'Made in 2016'.
