Volcanic stone Ganesha, 10th - 11th C CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

From the sculpture's description on artsmia.org:

*'...In this classic tenth-century Javanese depiction, from the island of Java, Ganesha sits erect on a double lotus base. Pot bellied and with his chubby feet held tightly together, he eats sweetmeats from a bowl in his lower left hand. His headdress, made of braided locks, bears a protective crescent moon and skull. His lower right hand grasps a broken tusk, while his upper right hand holds a rosary topped with a pomegranate, a symbol of abundance. In his upper left hand, he displays a battle-axe used to counter evil. Ganesha images often decorated the principal niche in the western wall of a Shiva temple.'*

Anthropomorphic mold for the manufacture of clay figurines, with the image of a woman sitting on her heels and knees. She wears a dress or huipil with long sleeves and a wide collar, which leaves part of the shoulders exposed. A spectacular detail is her hairstyle with a line in the middle and her hair braided on top the head with ribbons, tassels, and pompons. One hand holds her stomach and the other rests on her lap holding a round fan with a decorated edge, probably with feathers. A necklace with three spherical beads and three-strand wristbands, with square beads, complete her outfit. Surroundings of Cobán, Alta Verapaz

Mold with the image of a Woman

**Collection:** Roman Archeology Dept.
 
**Inv.-No.:** [CAR-K-3567](https://www.online.landessammlungen-noe.at/objects/1306792)

Appliqué with red paint in the form of a Silenus head. The head of an old, bearded man with a button nose and round, protruding eyes looks straight ahead. The mouth is slightly open and depicted with thick lips. On the plastically rendered hair at the forehead, he probably wears a stylized wreath. A full beard frames the round face and is braided into thick plaits. On the reverse, the ridges of the vessel wall are still visible. The appliqué comes from a vessel that was probably used in Dionysian festivities.

This object was digitized through the 'Kulturerbe digital' program of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Public Service and Sport.

This is a one-stroke cross-shaped knot domain transformed into a closed tubular mesh with woven crossings and verified topology. 
Generated, not hand-modeled: the Celtic Cross starts as a gate-constrained one-stroke path on a 30-grid cross domain, then becomes a Catmull–Rom ribbon and a 10-sided tube via parallel-transport framing and z-lift weaving. 
Its unique mechanism is a ring inscribed into four arms, with knotwork continuously filling both the circle and the axial cross
The generator builds it as a circular ring inscribed in a four-arm cross, then fills both the ring and the arms with continuous knotwork so the form reads as one braided spatial system. 
In 3D, the Celtic Cross gains a strong ceremonial mass: the central ring stabilizes the object while the four arms extend as balanced directional axes, giving the piece the presence of a carved ritual sign translated into full volumetric topology.

Major Chord Flux Tube translates the consonant 4:5:6 major triad into a volumetric geometric flow. 

Instead of drawing harmony as a simple curve, the structure is built as a dense multi-strand cable: a woven flux tube that twists around an underlying harmonic path. 

The result feels both mathematical and musical — a visible form of resonance, stability, and tonal brightness. 

With its braided line architecture and continuous looping motion, the object reads like a spatial chord: tension distributed evenly, rhythm embedded in repetition, and harmony crystallized into structure.

Anthropomorphic whistle in the form of a standing woman holding a bowl in her right hand and a fan in her left hand. She has hair parted in two and braided with ribbons, a banded necklace with three spherical beads, circular earflares, and wristbands. Scarring on the forehead is notable.

This piece is a one-stroke symbolic knot converted into a watertight tube mesh, where a continuous path is lifted into 3D and woven with explicit crossing logic. 
Generated, not hand-modeled: the Ankh starts as a gate-constrained one-stroke path on a 30-grid symbolic domain, then becomes a Catmull–Rom ribbon and a 10-sided tube via parallel-transport framing and z-lift weaving. Its uniqueness is the phi-ratio crossbar fused to an oval loop and vertical stem in one continuous watertight band.
The Ankh domain combines an oval loop, a vertical stem, and a phi-ratio crossbar into a single spatial structure, keeping the ancient Egyptian silhouette readable while giving it the thickness and continuity of knotwork. 
The result feels halfway between emblem, pendant, and ceremonial object: an Egyptian cross of life rebuilt as a braided volumetric form instead of a flat sign.

Septfoil Knot Flux transforms the classic (7,3) torus knot into a high-density braided flow object. 

Its sevenfold looping logic produces a form that feels ceremonial, rhythmic, and deeply rotational, while the flux-tube construction gives it added thickness, turbulence, and visual energy. 

The object sits between knot theory and musical polyrhythm: a structured entanglement where repetition, crossing, and return generate a strong sense of movement. 

Rather than a static knot, it behaves like a living harmonic circuit — a spatial vortex of periodicity, resonance, and controlled complexity.

Minor Chord Flux Tube converts a minor harmonic ratio into a braided geometric field. 

Built as a twisted bundle of continuous strands, it preserves the same structural logic as the major version but shifts the visual character toward something darker, denser, and more introspective. 

The object suggests musical melancholy translated into spatial form: a cable of harmonic tension, looping through itself with coherence and flow.

 Rather than representing sound as a waveform, it treats harmony as an organized topological path — a musical relationship made visible as a sculptural flux structure.
