From the Estate of Mary Ellen Dryden, Pittsboro, NC

Scottsdale Fine Art, Scottsdale, AZ (with COA)

The Ginkgo: Seed of Hope vessel was created as a privately commissioned piece. Revered as a "Bearer of Hope" in Japan, Alleman's artistic interpretation of the tree focuses on its brilliant beauty and natural resilience.

Working in the lost wax technique, each of Alleman's bronze vessels requires approximately eight to twelve weeks from the creation of a wax form to the final application of patina. In addition to the sculptural form, a companion writing accompanies each work. Alleman is graciously and generously influenced by the feminine experience and power of the natural world. She is also creatively aware through incorporating number symbolism in each sculpture.

Good estate condition.
