Two resting kingfishers form the heart of this unique, museum-quality work, their vivid blue plumage and warm orange breasts captured in a remarkable central murrine. Around them unfolds a lush pond scene of complex green murrine, richly colored roses, and countless tiny flowers, with dragonfly silhouettes darting throughout. Floral patterns continue around the sides of the solid cylindrical sculpture, creating a garden to explore from every angle. Monumental in scale and extraordinary in detail, this is the largest example in a series of murrine roll-up sculptures whose form Michael Hunter conceived a few years earlier.
