Ra's Story:
Ra is inspired by the Maori god of the sun, associated with light, warmth, and growth and is considered an important deity in Maori mythology. Here he is depicted as a winged sun disc in a similar fashion to the Egyptian Sun god of the same name. Ra has sixteen arms that radiant from his body. Ra is coloured green and shining metallic gold. The figure is embellished with protruding art nouveau style designs.
The Maori Sun God Ra
In Maori mythology, there is a god of the sun named Ra. However, it's important to note that the concept of Ra varies across different Polynesian cultures and can have different meanings and interpretations.
In Maori mythology, Ra is also known as Rā or Tama-nui-te-rā. He is considered the god of light, warmth, and growth, and is associated with the sun. Ra is depicted as a powerful figure with a radiant face and a flaming body, often portrayed in artwork and carvings.
According to Maori legend, Ra was the child of the sky father Ranginui and the earth mother Papatuanuku. He was born into darkness and, as he grew up, he became restless and longed to bring light to the world. One day, he decided to climb up to the sky to find his father, Ranginui, and ask for his help. With the help of his brothers, he successfully reached the sky and was able to convince Ranginui to allow him to bring light to the world.
After that, Ra began his journey across the sky, bringing light and warmth to the world. He is also said to have had the power to control the seasons and the growth of crops.
The Egytian Sun God Ra
The Egyptian god Ra, also known as Re, was a major deity in ancient Egyptian mythology and was considered the god of the sun, creation, and ruler of the gods. He was depicted as a man with a hawk's head, wearing a sun disk on his head, and carrying a scepter.
The Maori sun god Ra, on the other hand, is a deity from Maori mythology and is associated with light, warmth, and growth. He is depicted as a powerful figure with a radiant face and a flaming body.
While both Ra and Ra are associated with the sun and have similar names, they are from different cultures and have different mythological backgrounds, and therefore cannot be considered related in any way.
Creating Ra
I created the design in Auckland, starting with a digital illustration, then bring the illustration into my CNC Program where I make a 2.5D model of the artwork. From the model I generate the g-code or CNC cutting code ready for the carving process. The material is loaded on the CNC machine and the piece is carved over a few hours. The carved art piece is then inspected, sanded, sealed, sanded again, painted, varnished and finally a hanging wire installed.
As you can see to create this sculpted piece there are many processes involved making it a truly special and bespoke item.
Packaging:
The item will be packaged with bubble wrapping inside a cardboard outer box.
Delivery:
The item will be couriered to your chosen destination. Courier and Shipping times TBC
