AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An impressive and eye-catching barnacle colony, displaying the natural beauty of its clustered tubular forms in shades of pink, violet, and white. The intricate structure, with its overlapping shells and striking geometric openings, creates a sculptural piece that draws attention and curiosity.
Some sections have been carefully reinforced to ensure the stability of the whole cluster, while maintaining its authentic marine character. This specimen makes a bold decorative statement and is equally suitable for interior design, studio display, museum settings, or natural history collections.
The barnacle block measures 26 x 19.5 x 11.5 cm.
