Chimenea
A fireplace surround cut from Tennessee cherry swirl stone. The red oxide deer scampering across the front are painted with the same pigment that the native American use in the original site, which is ground stone with an organic binder. This prehistoric archeological site was discovered by M.D. Davis in 1998 and named it appropreitly enough, Las Chimenea after the many natural chimneys and fire pits found within the cave. The surround is 16" deep, 56" wide, 50" tall and was M.D.'s 2003 Western Design Conference exhibit. Close-up of the fireplace surround corner with the red mono-chrome deer in full scamper. $3,800
