Ichthyostega

Science and Consciousness

[Rare collector's piece in mint condition, signed. Travel back to the Devonian period with "Ichthyostega," a masterful creation by Yoh Kakuda from March 2022. This zoological puzzle box depicts one of the first tetrapods to venture out of the water. To open it, you may have to solve the mystery of how it walked...

The Missing Link of Mechanisms

Designed for an exhibition on "Ancient Times," this piece illustrates the critical moment when fins turned into legs. But how did this animal move? Did it drag its body with its front legs? Were its hind legs just flopping around? Yoh Kakuda has integrated these scientific questions into the very mechanism of the box. Understanding the creature's awkward movement is the key to unlocking the secret compartment.

A Living Wooden Sculpture

Measuring over 22 cm in length, this Ichthyostega is crafted from magnolia and walnut, giving it an organic and warm texture. The artisan has captured the "primitive" and sturdy look of the animal perfectly. This is an exceptional pre-owned piece, preserved in flawless condition, perfect for fans of paleontology and mechanical art.
