"Eastern Reckoning" Size: 3.36" Price: SOLD


This is the largest cab/pendant Takao has ever made up to this point! Sooo much time and energy is contained within this piece, created with mesmerizing precision from thousands of tiny dots of glass. It's a special one in that it has Takao's signature 'Into the Face' design on the side of it. Interestingly, Takao will sometimes destroy his glass work in the Tibetan Buddhist monk tradition of destroying elaborate sand mandalas, and for this pendant, Takao decided to do that to part of his mandala pattern here by adding his moon face on the side. It is an absolutely incredible work of art, one for the ages, and also one you are able to wear around and show to the world if you want. The opal in the bail is spherical, and SO bright in real life that I couldn't get good pics of it since it gets blown out whenever I used enough light to show the rest of the piece. This is legendary glass at its finest! Signed 'Takao Miyake 2016'.
