Description from the seller

Juniper Bonsai Forest on Aged Deadwood Tanuki Style 50cm Unique Wooden Vessel

OPERA D'ARTE UNICA: COMPOSIZIONE GINEPRO A BOSCHETTO SU LEGNO ANTICO SCULTOREO

For sale an absolutely monumental and exclusive piece of bonsai art. This is not a simple tree, but a natural microcosm: a juniper (Juniperus) artfully composed on a block of very ancient wood, integrated with a dense array of dead woods (Jin and Shari) to recreate the suggestive and wild aesthetics of a high‑altitude grove rooted in a fossil rock.

As extensively documented in the photograph gallery (from image_63.png to image_70.png), the entire structure rests on a sculptural container also carved from ancient wood, a unique handcrafted piece.

STRENGTHS AND AESTHETIC VALUE:
• Grove Effect and Depth: The masterful integration of dead woods vertically creates a unique airy stage (image_63.png, image_65.png). The gaze traverses silvered, twisted branches that simulate ancient trees now bare, typical of primary forests (image_67.png, image_70.png).
• Imposing Trunk and Fossil Base: At the base, the tree blends with the veins and cracks of an ancient stump with a visually impressive diameter of about 5 cm (image_64.png, image_68.png). The fossil bark weave is a natural work of art (image_64.png).
• Lush and Dense Foliage: The juniper foliage is expanded to a width of 55 cm (image_63.png). The needles are in perfect vigor, dense, compact, and a deep green, offering a magnificent contrast with the dry parts (image_66.png, image_69.png).
• Ancient Wood Container: The custom pot/container (38x20x20 cm) accommodates the composition, following its natural shapes and elevating the piece’s collectible value (image_63.png, image_65.png).

IMPORTANT DIMENSIONS AND MEASUREMENTS:
- Overall plant height: 50 cm
- Canopy width (maximum extension): 55 cm
- Trunk width at the base: 5 cm
- Dimensions of the ancient wood container: 38 x 20 x 20 cm

HEALTH STATUS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP:
The plant is healthy, strong, and stabilized in its structure (image_66.png, image_70.png). The substrate is enriched with superficial moss that maintains the proper moist microclimate at the roots (image_65.png, image_67.png). Given that this is a complex artistic composition, it is an ideal piece for experienced collectors, elite gardens, or to command a traditional-style display.

SHIPPING WITH SPECIAL PACKAGING ON PLYWOOD PALLET / RIGID CASE:
Given the exceptional dimensions (50x55 cm), the delicacy of the vertical dry branches (image_63.png) and the weight of the wooden container (image_65.png), shipping will not be in a standard cardboard box. A reinforced protective crate or a rigid protection with steel anchors/straps at the base of the container will be built to prevent any wavelike movement. The aerial crown will be protected with anti-press materials. Insured and trackable shipping with express courier in Italy and Europe.
