Description from the seller
Beauty in cream and sand tones, this rustic ammonite testifies to the beauty of the ancient sea.
They are called 'Ammon's horns,' after the ancient Egyptian god of life and procreation known for his ram's horns; ammonites have been appreciated by cultures around the world for thousands of years.
Ammonites are extinct cephalopod mollusks, equally beautiful and important for the study of geology and paleontology.
The ammonites are distinguished by the ornamentation of their shells and the sutural lines. Tastefully mounted on a turned brass support, this ammonite combines nature with art and design.
