Fossils record the golden era of this uncommon plant, also known as the cycad, as approximately 208 million years ago during the Jurassic period. That date makes the art of bonsai itself appear relatively new, arriving in Japan from China around 1195 AD! The timeless qualities of this unique bonsai make it a meaningful gift, and its rugged qualities make it an especially intriguing gift for guys. We've set it in a traditional bonsai dish artistically accented with decorative moss and pebbles. The perfect gift for one-of-a-kind occasions! Approximately 12-14"H. Dish pictured measures 5.5"W x 8.75"L, but color, size and style of dish may vary slightly.
