AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique specimen of Strombus Giga from Mexico, a beautiful collectible shell of great elegance, also known as the queen conch. Purchased by my great-great-grandfather before 1947, therefore exempt from CITES regulations. Excellent condition, weight over one kilogram. Measurements in the photo. I have been on Catawiki for a long time with precious items and with 100% feedback. Shipping and professional packaging.
