Woodturned petrosphere and bowl on offer to benefit Ness excavation fund – SOLD

The Neolithic-inspired wooden petrosphere and stand alongside the carved stone ball from the Ness of Brodgar.

Both pieces have now been sold – thank you for your support.

Orcadian woodturner Michael Sinclair has crafted another two beautiful – and unique – pieces to offer Ness followers to help boost excavation funds.

The first is a Lignum vitae (sourced from an old wooden bowling ball) Neolithic-inspired petrosphere (65mm diameter) with four facets and turned detail between.

The petrosphere sits on an English boxwood stand, with overall dimension of 90mm x 110mm x 80mm, and is offered for sale at £180.

Sycamore turned bowl alongside the stunning polished stone axe found in Structure Fourteen in 2012.

The second piece is an Orkney sycamore bowl (85mm x 185mm) with turned beading and hand-carved detail, which costs £145.

The pieces are one-offs and unique. Not only will you have an heirloom piece but will know that the Ness of Brodgar is being supported by your purchase.

Once again, we are very grateful to Michael and Sara for their generosity.
