The allure of taxidermy, brought to you by {name}

Jonas Rathaj

This beautifully preserved Nautilus shell has been expertly sectioned to reveal its intricate internal structure, perfectly aligned with the golden ratio. The exterior has been polished, showcasing the magnificent iridescent reflections of the mother-of-pearl.

Some minor losses to the chamber structures are present, as shown in the photos, due to the natural fragility of the shell. However, these do not detract from the overall beauty and elegance of the piece.

The two halves measure approximately: 
Left: 25g - 8,2x11x3cm
Right: 24g - 8,2x11x3,1 cm

Attention bidders from outside EU: This lot requires specific cites custom clearance procedures to be shipped outside Italy and then imported in your Country. We strongly discourage bidders from outside the European Union to make offers.
