Description from the seller
A sculpture of time, a symbol of transformation, that of the Ammonites from Madagascar with shells of bivalve mollusks in clay sediment. The exceptional aspect of the piece is its rarity as well as the perfect preservation of the septa of the sutural lines and the animal's living chamber.
Natural earth tones make it ideal for every type of furniture and style.
A weight game that, with coverage, allowed the fossilization of the ammonite group, but with the lightness of the sediment, the preservation of the last chamber— which, not supported by septa, is usually subject to crushing— occurs.
