Michael Jordan Signed Tegata Handprint Framed Display UDA Upper Deck COA

Details

Offered in this lot is a stunning tegata left 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 in the world. If Jordan’s career was analogous to that of a sumo wrestler, the Chicago Bulls star would be among the hallowed yokozuna; the kings of sumo. This stunning and evocative handprint rests on a picture of a kneeling Jordan, striking a pose not too dissimilar from a sumo wrestler. The photograph and tegata rest on a red velvet frame inside a 21 1/2 x 29-inch black frame. Jordan’s flowing signature appears across his handprint in black marker, giving the piece both a sense of awe and perspective. Comes with an Upper Deck UDA COA and hologram (BAM05452) for Jordan’s signature.
