AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful Nautilus Pompilius resting on a wooden base with an Agate disc, allowing it to be displayed as a design or collectible object without altering its natural charm or distracting from the subject.
Since the early 1600s, Nautilus shells have been objects of research, study, and collection. In fact, it is very easy to find in photographs depicting the Wunderkammer of the era some Nautilus shells mounted on extravagant bases and often adorned with silver elements.

Nautilus dimensions: 149 x 194 x 88 mm
