Description from the seller
Beauty in cream and beige tones, this rustic ammonite testifies to the beauty of the ancient sea.
Called "Horns of Ammon" for the ancient Egyptian god of life and procreation, known for his ram's horns, ammonites have been cherished by cultures around the world for thousands of years.
Ammonites are extinct cephalopod mollusks, equally beautiful and important for the study of geology and paleontology.
Ammonites are distinguished by the ornamentation of their shells and their sutural lines. Mounted stylishly on a turned-brass stand, this ammonite fuses nature with art and design.
