AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Natural hollow ostrich egg, mounted as an art object on a pedestal. The base features an interesting antique patina in a satin gray-silver tone, typical of noble alloys such as alpacca (nickel-silver) or antique nickel-plated brass; carved with eclectic charm.
This type of creation is directly inspired by the historic Wunderkammern (Cabinets of Curiosities) of the Renaissance and Baroque, where rare elements of nature (Naturalia) were enriched by human craft (Artificialia) to decorate the homes of the most discerning collectors.
The egg preserves its typical porous texture and the natural creamy color. At the summit there is a small decorative metal element that serves as an elegant finishing touch.
Height including the stand: 26 cm
Condition: Excellent overall condition.
Shipping details: The object will be packed with extreme care, isolating the shell with shock-absorbing protective materials to ensure safe shipping. The pedestal and the decorative element at the summit will be packed separately.
