About the Item

Nature has been a source of inspiration for artists, craftsmen, and to people of all trades since the dawn of time. This spike-shaped sculptural creation is ideal to bring a piece of ‘naturalia’ into any space to marvel at the “art” of nature. This almost three-meter-high natural sculpture came to be from one tree trunk, most likely teak. The hollowed surface is the result of serving as the home for termites. Large termite mounds have become popular in the past years thanks to their elaborate structure. In the case of tree trunks, the patterns are visible on the outside, making them visually mesmerizing. Termites tend to take over mature trees, which here, is indicated by the sheer size of this tree trunk. This sculptural tree trunk has become preserved as a fossil; therefore, it is no longer deteriorating. Nonetheless, its natural characteristic stays intact with uneven edges and beautiful texture. The spike-shape resembles termite mounds found in West and Central Africa. Sculptures that blend in perfectly with nature have been popular in the past decades, but as this colossal piece shows, natural sculptures also have a place inside. Instead of blending in, this piece can be the focal point of any space. Condition: In vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Marks due to age and external agents.
