Description from the seller
Framed Collection of 9 Pecten Shells – Natural Colors – Decorative Display
An attractive framed collection featuring 9 complete Pecten shells, carefully arranged to highlight their natural variety of colors, patterns and surface details.
Each specimen shows the characteristic fan-shaped form and pronounced radial ribbing typical of Pecten shells. The group includes warm tones ranging from pale pink and salmon to orange, reddish brown and cream, with each shell displaying its own individual pattern and natural variation.
The specimens are mounted against a black background, creating a strong visual contrast that emphasizes their sculptural shape and coloration. The square black frame is finished with a lighter inner border and can be displayed either standing on a surface or hung on a wall thanks to the rear support and hanging fixture.
Frame dimensions: 23 × 23 × 4.5 cm.
Each shell measures approximately 4.5 × 4 × 1.5 cm.
Please note that the transparent plastic front shows some light surface scratches, visible on close inspection. This does not affect the shells themselves and is mentioned for complete accuracy regarding the condition of the display.
A charming decorative composition suitable for a shell collection, cabinet of curiosities or natural history-inspired interior.
