AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Appreciable specimen of White Gorgonian (Eunicella singularis) on a wooden base - 24 cm
Fascinating and refined object for a Wunderkammer and natural history: a natural skeleton of White Gorgonian (Eunicella singularis), finely cleaned and mounted on an elegant handcrafted wooden display base.
The fan spreads on a single plane with parallel and vertical branches beautifully dense and harmonious. Looking closely at the details, the cortex (coenochyme) remains intact the beautiful original verrucose structure, with the small geometric reliefs that once housed the polyps of the marine colony.
The specimen is presented in excellent preservation condition, solid, with a warm natural ivory/beige coloration, uniform, ideal as a collectible piece.
* Species: Eunicella singularis (White Gorgonian)
* Height of the Gorgonian alone: 24 cm (excluding the wooden support)
* Condition: Excellent (intact structure, healthy branches and free of obvious breaks)
* Base: Solid wood included in the frame
A professional and highly protective packaging is guaranteed. Given the delicate nature and fragility of the coral’s branching, the item will be placed in a rigid shock-absorbent box with ample packing material to prevent any damage during transport. Fast shipping.
