Sankan Family Bonsai with Moss Agate Gemstone Miniature Sculpture

Size: 5" x 5" x .5" (12.7cm x 12.9cm x cm) About the Design Sankan is a bonsai style of three trunks of varying thicknesses nestled together in a small pot. It is believed to represent a family with two parental figures and a Child. This design has a lone tree off to the side, which could represent some kind or extension to the family like a pet. This sculpture was hand sawn with jewelers blades from 20 gauge copper. The unique Moss Agate slab is secured with prongs that are part of that same sheet, pried into a firm hold. A little above center the sheet was domed to accept a small nail for mounting. Greens were achieved to the copper with a brush application of a copper sulfate solution. The Browns were achieved with a solution of liver of sulfur. Minimal touch up was done with applied metallic green pigment. The entire piece has a layer of lacquer to stabilize the finish and bring out the colors of the stone. Use only weakened liquid soap to clean the if necessary.
