Miniature Vessel Maple & Ash

Miniature Vessel
By Micah Hart (Chickasaw Nation)
Maple and Ash with inlaid blue stones
3.25 x 2.5 inches

This hand-turned miniature vessel by Chickasaw artist Micah Hart highlights the beauty of natural wood and careful craftsmanship. Made from maple and ash, the form is smooth and balanced, allowing the wood grain to remain the focal point. Subtle inlaid blue stones near the rim add a bit of contrast without overwhelming the piece.

Hart’s work is rooted in precision and respect for material, emphasizing organic form, natural variation, and thoughtful detail. Though small in scale, this sculptural vessel carries a strong presence and is well suited for display as a standalone object or as part of a curated collection.

Each piece is unique, reflecting the natural character of the wood and the artist’s hand.
