Made directly from the wood of a locally-grown, sustainably-sourced lama tree, the artist hand-carved, turned and sanded the bowl with the utmost care and attention to detail, then added real turquoise gemstone and black Alaskan anthracite inlay. The artist maintained a natural, live edge. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspired by traditional Japanese kintsugi art, cracks and openings in the wood are repaired and colorfully decorated with fine turquoise and anthracite stone inlay. As a philosophy, Japanese kintsugi treats breakage and repair as an honorable and beautiful part of the history of an object that strengthens and enhances, rather than diminishes. More than just an art form, kintsugi teaches us that “flaws” and challenges are what make each of us unique and valuable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlso known as Hawaiian ebony and Hawaiian persimmon, Lama is an endemic native Hawaiian wood that has a deep cultural significance to Native Hawaiians. ln the Hawaiian language, lama means “light” .
