D. H. McCowan, Bend, Oregon, commissioned directly from the artist, 1963
Thence by descent to the present owner

Overall in very good condition. The surfaces overall present with some minor scattered scuffs, scratches, abrasions and shallow indentations, mostly concentrated to the outer edges of the design, consistent with age and gentle use. The edge near one corner of the tabletop with a minor chip measuring approximately 1/8 x 1 3/8 inches and is not visually distracting. The edge of one of the feet with and area of slightly more prominent rubbing, measuring approximately 1/4 x 7/8 inch. A strong and linear example of Nakashima’s “Conoid” series with two freeform edges and four Indian rosewood keys.
