Egyptian Theban Noble Kusamono Display Pinch Pot

Description

Ancient Egyptian style handmade pinch pot for bonsai, succulent plant or cacti

Kusamono display bonsai pinch pots are traditional Japanese ceramic pots that are intended as accompaniments to bonsai tree displays. They’re usually quite small – easily held in the palm of one hand – and of organic style, such as seen with pinchpots.

To the south of the Valley of the Kings lies the Tombs of the Nobles, and it is within Theban Tomb 55 that Ramose leaves us elegant paintings and carvings of everyday life for a nobleman of Egypt's wealthy capitol.  Here Ramose is bedecked with the most fashionable of wigs, necklaces and armbands while holding a posy of fragrant flowers to his nose.

This image dates to 1,375 BC and is characteristic of the opulence and fashion seen within Egypt's golden age.

I became interested in kusamono pots after a recent visit to Australia.  By coupling the historical form and function of these pots with my own ancient carvings, I wanted to bring a new style to an ageless design.

If you want to know how I carve this and others pieces, please view my Youtube tutorials.
