Enormous South Pacific Clam Shell Loaded with Vintage Driftwood

About the Item

Wonderful example of a giant clam shell from the Indian Ocean. The bleached white color and high profile of the scallops make this a distinctive specimen. The shell is in very good vintage condition with the exception of some natural imperfections. This authentic large clam shell with graceful flowing lines has been drilled with 4 small drain holes then filled with a rare collection of bleached driftwood. The natural specimen weighs over 100 lbs. There are 3 other listing of shells on my page, each one if magnificent in their scale, patina and texture. Superbly created by nature.
