Handmade Wooden Egg
Ira Blount · 1992
Artist Ira Blount (1918-2020) layered and glued alternating strips of light and dark stained wood before carving it into the flat-bottomed egg form, resulting in a pattern of concentric stripes. Utilizing natural materials and classic woodworking techniques, Blount’s egg is notable for its colors and simple form.
