AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The object is a mother-of-pearl shell of Nautilus Pompilius; it is the external shell of a marine cephalopod, called Nautilus Pompilius.
The glossy surface is mother-of-pearl, exposed by removing the natural outer layer.
The Nautilus is considered a 'living fossil' due to its ancient evolutionary origin; the logarithmic spiral shell is a classic symbol of architectural perfection and harmony.
Size 17 cm x 13 x 8.5, weight 191 g.
Tracked shipment, I do not ship to the United States.
