AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Collectible intaglio
High-quality striped malachite carved by skilled Congolese artisans.
Malachite carving is a traditional artistic practice with deep roots in Congo's culture.
Penguins are social animals that live in colonies and exhibit strong family bonds. Their dedication to family and community makes them a symbol of unity, cooperation, and solidarity. Penguin pairs care for their chicks together, and this behavior is often seen as an example of love and family commitment.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
