A refined and unusual decorative piece featuring a flat sea urchin (sand dollar) delicately mounted on a turned and hand-carved wooden base, finished in aged gold leaf. The natural, ivory-toned urchin reveals its iconic five-petal star pattern, creating a striking contrast with the richly textured and ornate golden base.
The base itself is sculpted in a classic pinecone motif, adding a sense of timeless craftsmanship and baroque elegance to the marine specimen it supports. The combination of natural marine beauty and traditional woodcarving makes this piece perfect for cabinet of curiosities collections, interior styling, or as a standalone object of wonder.
A rare union of sea and artisan heritage, where nature’s geometry meets gilded refinement.
