Lot 124 Paul Stankard cloistered botanical block. Pale pink, nearly translucent Indian pipes flowers grow from an earth ground; roots, flowers and spirit underground. The fleshy aspect of the flowers, like blood-tinted skin, and the obelisk shape of this paperweight, suggest a reliquary-a sacred space housed within the glass. Three cobalt blue sides. Signed/dated 1988. Diameter 5 1/2". Estimate: $12,000 - 14,000
