About the Item

This desk size Gogotte is an authentic proof of nature's artistic skills in sculpture. We still don't understand fully how these natural sculptures, made of more than 99% of pure silica sand concentrated. We can only admire these rounded shapes (as gogottes are never found displaying any angle or spike). The particularity here, is the naturals iron inclusions. It weighs 2,6kg with it's stand. Every specimen is unique, and fascinatingly talk to the imagination. As with the clouds, anybody can see different things in them, and sometimes make a mutual agreement on a shape. From animals to faces or abstract, the variety is stunning, and they can be found in any size. From few centimeters to several meters. We let you investigate yourself as you observe this one ! This one, presented on it's custom stainless steel stand, can be easily put on a desk, or a shelf. Gogottes are ideals to animate a conversation with anybody, interested in art or not, or meditate in the loneliness and silence of a calm evening.
