These dancing devils were adapted from a series of medieval block prints… although they also remind me of Indonesian shadow puppets. Especially because of the way that they cast lively dancing shadows when you build a fire in the firepit. As the flames leap, so do the shadows! How cool is that?
This design was cut freehand with no stencils or jigs.
I don't know if I'll evr make another one quite this complex due to the
time and effort that went into each figure. I love the way it came out,
but future versions will most likely be a bit less detailed and simpler.
Dimensions: 30" diameter x 23" high overall. Bowl is 23" deep.
This is a one time custom firepit design that will never be exactly repeated and has been sold. If you'd like to commission a similar piece, call or email to discuss pricing, stories or lead time.
