Description :

Richard Kirsten‑Daiensai Ceramic Sculpture

A hand‑formed ceramic figure by Seattle artist Richard Kirsten‑Daiensai (1920–2013), featuring his signature blend of spiritual symbolism and stylized form. The figure is rendered in deep blue glaze with incised geometric and spiral motifs, echoing the artist’s lifelong engagement with East‑Asian devotional imagery. Compact and contemplative, the piece carries the quiet, meditative presence characteristic of Kirsten’s small sculptural works.

Hand‑Painted Asian Scene on Bone

A finely detailed miniature painting executed on a natural bone fragment, depicting a lively hillside scene with multiple figures engaged in daily activity. The artist uses vivid color and tight brushwork to create a narrative tableau typical of traditional Asian folk‑art storytelling. The piece is mounted in a rustic wood frame and elevated on a small block stand for display.
