Description: Colorful Handmade RAKU Giraffe with Kintsugi gold repair,originally made in South Africa, signed by original artistI purchased this piece on line because of my love of giraffes and following "April" from Animal Adventures in New Yorkhelped me get through each day. Unfortunately, it arrived broken---so I decided to try and repair her with my Japanese Kintsugi Repair technique which took more time than I anticipated but now she can have a new life. The Japanese Art of Kintsugi began in Ancient times where tea cups were repaired with gold. This metaphor represents us when we are broken...we can heal and become stronger, wiser and more beautiful when we mend.We have a more valuable life with knowledge gained from experience. We become better than before.Approx: 11 1/4" tallVery good condition after repairIncludes handmade gift card made with Japanese Yuzen/Washi handmade papersPlease view all photos for more details and would recommend Museum Wax/Putty to help hold her in place in your home.
