Ammonites Association
A magnificent association of ammonites and clams varied in size and color seems to reveal a new intrigue with each glance.
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.
Over 30 skillfully prepared ammonites, ranging from an inch to over a foot, showcase the shell’s ribbing and fern-like sutures in shades of cream and warm browns with hints of opalescence. Beautifully displayed on a custom ebony base, this striking association draws the focus of the room.
