Collaboration between Wood Worker Steve Antonellis and Oil Painter George Aldrete
''Pele's Fury'' is a ''segmented vessel''. The piece is created on the wood lathe by turning a stack of wooden rings. Each ring is composed of 16 wood segments regardless of the diameter of the ring. The shape of this vessel is inspired by the Ancient Greek Niobid Crater.

The Niobid Painter was an ancient Athenian vase painter in the red-figure style who was active
from approximately 470 to 450 BC. The vessel was discovered in Ovieto, Italy in the 1800s and now resides in the Louvre, Paris, France. The Niobid Krater was used to mix water and wine to reduce the alcohol content of the wine. The original Niobid Krater is 32'' tall x 32'' in diameter.

This collaborative vessel is about half the size of the original. The vessel is created from three exotic wood species, Hawaiian Mango, Wenge, and Bloodwood. Adding additional character to the vessel are ''brick­ like'' rings of mango and bloodwood and thin accent rings of Wenge each of which are actual delicate segmented rings, a detail not found in other fine art pieces. The inside of the bottom includes an ''Escher-like'' inlay pattern of Mango, Bloodwood, and Wenge.15 1/4" tall x 15"
diameter.
