About The Artwork

The black lacquer against this vibrant orange background poses as black visual icing! utterly crisp and delicious to the eye! Additional detail is incised through the black lacquer, denoting each blossom's petals and interior--Michoacan, Mexico.

It is thrilling to be connected to such a wonderful object!
