Description
Original size is 3x4 feet, so it is very detailed. look closely!
I almost titled this "Singing Ent"
For our 45th anniversary, we took a trip to California to see the redwoods and sequoias, visiting United States' Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon National Park and exploring a bit of the area.
As a Tolkien fan, I loved the faces I saw in the burls and knots. This one looks like he's singing, but since it's named after the man who invented the Cherokee alphabet, perhaps he is just teaching it to the rest of the weird little faces morphing from the other stumps, root and trees...
Chief Sequoyah is a giant sequoia in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in California. It is the 9th largest tree in Giant Forest grove, the 27th largest giant sequoia in the world (could be considered the 26th largest depending on how badly Ishi Giant atrophied during the Rough Fire in 2015).
In 1928, Sequoia National Park superintendent Colonel John R. White named the tree to honor Sequoyah, a polymath of the Cherokee Nation who created the Cherokee syllabary in 1821.
The redwoods in the Giant's Forest are among the most massive trees on Earth. Chief Sequoyah is located 140 ft (43 m) uphill from the much larger President tree. The tree features an enormous burl on its southern face and is deeply fire scarred on its western face.
