Ammonites Association
A superb association of ammonites varied in size and color bear witness to the seas of the past.
Named as “Ammon’s Horns,” for the ancient Egyptian god of life and procreation known for his ram horns, ammonites have been treasured by cultures around the world for thousands of years. Ammonites are extinct cephalopod mollusks, equally beautiful and important to the study of geology and paleontology. Ammonites are distinguished by shell ornamentation and suture lines.
The skillfully prepared ammonites, ranging from an inch to over a foot, showcase the shell’s ribbing and fern-like sutures in shades cream and warm browns. Beautifully displayed on a custom ebony base, this stunning association marries Nature, art and design.
