Michael Jordan Signed, Framed Tegata Original Hand Impression LE (#09/23) - Original Chicago Bulls Edition - 37 x 37 - UDA COA & Beckett COA
Stunning tegata handprint signed by Michael Jordan. In Japanese culture, a tegata is the handprint autograph of a sumo wrestler in either the makuuchi or juryo divisions, which consists of the top 70 sumo wrestlers worldwide. If Jordan's career were analogous to that of a sumo wrestler, the Chicago Bulls star would be among the hallowed yokozuna, the kings of sumo. Still, Jordan reigns supreme as the King of the NBA, a position he will keep in the pantheon of hardwood gods for ages. The piece is eye-catching, begging viewers to ponder Jordan's signature and the handprint that brought the Chicago Bulls six NBA titles and countless accolades during his illustrious career.
This black tegata is rendered on a piece of paper framed in a 37-by-37-inch display, featuring a mosaic of images from Michael Jordan's legendary career with the Bulls, and is a limited edition (#9/23) Chicago Bulls version. Jordan has boldly signed the large handprint in bold silver marker. The paper has been personally stamped by Jordan with his own unique inkan, or seal. This is the original Chicago Bulls edition;more valuable than the UNC blue colorway edition. The piece is accompanied by a COA from UDA for Jordan's signature and inkan and an LOA from Beckett for the signature.
