This meticulously crafted brass Liahona which took over five years of research, thousands of man hours of creation and the skill and incredible talent of the artist, Michael Wallace, to produce the piece, is breathtaking in its beauty. Highly symbolic of many LDS religious concepts, it is a true masterpiece that will be a "must have" addition to any art collection. Comprised of sixty individual pieces,there are so many facets to this single piece of historic art, that I am only able to show a few. Each Liahona will be created in a limited edition and will take (200 Man Hours) four weeks for creation and two weeks for delivery. Michael Wallace will sign and number each piece which will then be placed in a beautiful hand-crafted wooden display box and delivered to your front door. What is the Liahona and what is its purpose? Let me pull from the words of ancient prophets. "And it came to pass that as my father arose in the morning, and went forth to the tent door, to his great astonishment he beheld upon the ground a ball of curious workmanship; and it was of fine brass. and within the ball were two spindles; and the one pointed the way whither we should go into the wilderness." 1 Nephi 16:10 (Book of Mormon) "38 And now, my son, I have somewhat to say concerning the thing which our fathers call a ball, or director---or our fathers called it Liahona, which is being interpreted, a compass; and the Lord prepared it. 39 And behold, there cannot any man work after the manner of so curious a workmanship. And behold, it was prepared to show unto our fathers the course which they should travel in the wilderness. 40 And it did work for them according to their faith in God; therefore, if they had faith to believe that God could cause that those spindles should point the way they should go, behold, it was done; therefore they had this miracle, and also many other miracles wrought by the power of God, day to day. 41 Nevertheless, because those miracles were worked by small means it did show unto them marvelous works. They were slothful, and forgot to exercise their faith and diligence and then those marvelous works ceased, and they did not progress in their journey; 42 Therefore, they tarried in the wilderness, or did not travel a direct course, and were afflicted with hunger and thirst, because of their transgressions. 43 And now, my son, I would that ye should understand that these things are now without a shadow; for as our fathers were slothful to give heed to this compass (now these things were temporal) they did not prospec; even so it is with things which are spiritual. 44 For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss, as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land." Alma 37: 37-43 (Book of Mormon) Click on any picture to see an enlarged image. |
