Standing just shy of sixteen inches tall, Purple Rain No60 is a handcrafted wooden robot built as a bold tribute to endurance, craftsmanship, and the late great Prince. Carved from salvaged Red Leaf Maple, its body has been meticulously stabilized and dyed a deep royal purple, ensuring it will endure for generations. Every curve and joint reveals the shimmering figure of the maple’s grain—now forever preserved in regal hue.
Its eyes are hand-carved mountains of black walnut burl, rising before a luminous sky of mother-of-pearl, a vision of wilderness held within a gaze. The head and base are made from dense Desert Ironwood, their natural weight grounding the figure with strength and gravity.
In its chest rests the sacred geometry of a Knobcone Pinecone, sliced open to reveal the hidden pattern of its seeds—a reminder that beauty and order often lie beneath the surface. Surrounding it are inlays of mother-of-pearl wrapped in brass.
At seven inches wide and nearly sixteen tall, this piece embodies presence.
It is a wooden robot—alive in spirit, crafted to last, and meant to be remembered.
