A quietly arresting midcentury wall piece, pairing elemental form with lyrical gesture. Two dark tapered wooden spines rise vertically—like antennae, or the stylised tines of a tuning fork—framing a central panel inscribed with a single, looping calligraphic mark.
The composition evokes both restraint and movement: a totemic stillness disrupted by the soft serpentine swirl of ink. The calligraphy itself—ambiguous, almost musical—draws the eye inward and rewards close attention. Is it a symbol, a signature, a secret?
Origin unknown; possibly European, 1950s–60s. The back bears no markings.
A minimalist relic that sits somewhere between wall sculpture, design object, and meditative glyph.
