Description from the seller
Wonderful Slice of petrified palm root on a custom stand.
Beautiful slice of a fossil palm trunk, with wonderful nuances of colour with the typical blowout. The bark is clearly visible on the outer part and the typical formation of the palm stands out in the centre. Part of the interior is geodetic crystallized. The slice is very nicely polished, making the details clearly visible.

Seller's Story
For over a decade, we have travelled across Indonesia to curate unique interior pieces that reflect the country’s rich craftsmanship and cultural heritage. What began as annual trips to Indonesia, a family history descendant of Dutch Indies, and a passion for handmade objects has grown into the rich collection of design objects we offer today with pride.
We specialise in sourcing authentic, artisanal pieces directly from small family-owned ateliers throughout Java, Bali, Sumatra and beyond. Our collection ranges from hand-carved décor and bronze sculptures to natural-material homeware. Each item is carefully selected for its craftsmanship, character, and story.
We have over 10 years of experience working closely with Indonesian artisans. Because of this, our expertise lies in identifying high-quality workmanship, natural materials, and unique pieces that stand out. Every lot we list on Catawiki is personally inspected by us and supports the local communities and traditional techniques we deeply believe in.
