Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Norman L. Sandfield recently gifted the Heard Museum his collection of over 240 miniature silver seed pots. The collection, which Sandfield assembled over a period of 28 years, ranges from traditional designs created in silver to an interstellar outlook with work like the Star Wars series created by L. Eugene Nelson, Navajo. Sandfield also commissioned works from artists who normally do not create containers, and the results are stunning.

    The craftmanship is of the highest levels. The designs are innovative, from traditional themes to modern abstract designs. Don't miss it. Sandfield, who is also a major collector of Japanese Netsuke, is to be thanked for his donation of this fine collection and for encouraging this art form. Collapse
