Description from the seller

A harmonious fusion of nature and art, this extraordinary decorative object highlights a large nautilus, a symbol of elegance and ancient marine wonders. Its perfect, majestic spiral shape seems to emerge from the depths of the ocean, while a vibrant red gorgonia gracefully unfolds from its opening. The delicate structure of the gorgonia, with its intricate, filigree branches, evokes the charm of tropical corals, creating a spectacular visual contrast with the mother-of-pearl shine of the nautilus. This unique composition captures the essence of the ocean and transports the viewer to an underwater world, where time seems suspended and marine beauty reveals itself in all its splendor.
