A special order Mandala made for Neiman Marcus stores. This is one of the more common of the older special release mandalas. I'm estimating that Neiman put in a larger order with Tom Kuhn. I've also noticed variation in logo size, so I believe at least two separate batches of these were ordered from Tom Kuhn.

I believe this is from the older batch, with very large lasering for the design, deep engraving, and in the original "Patent Pending" box.

These are just beautiful mandalas with a very unusual and wonderful design. Unfortunately, no one can recall who designed this logo. Likely someone at Neiman. Notice the deeper color that older Tom Kuhns develop, as they age like a fine wine.
