Axis Mundi is a one-of-a-kind gilded sculpture created by renowned German artist Joachim Tantau. Drawing inspiration from the ancient concept of the "world axis," the piece represents the connection between earth and the divine, embodied in a radiant form that transcends traditional symbolism. Crafted with delicate leaf gold and inlaid with semi-precious stones by Pietra Dura artist Aline Marion, the sculpture evokes a powerful sense of balance, light, and celestial harmony.
Meticulously handcrafted using time-honoured techniques, Axis Mundi combines rich textures and reflective surfaces, creating an ever-changing interplay of light and shadow. Mounted on the wall, this sculpture serves as a visual focal point, its luminous presence inviting contemplation and awe.
The piece comes delivered securely in a custom wooden crate, and includes detailed installation and care instructions to ensure its lasting brilliance.
