Sea Lily Quartet

SKU: GD-D1447W Category:

Dramatic, stunning, and sophisticated subtle gold plays against the distinctive dark grey Holzmaden shale. At first glance, a prehistoric flower earning the name sea lily, crinoids were actually echinoids, related to starfish and sea urchins. Floating along the prehistoric sea attached to driftwood, crinoids would feed with feather like tentacles, resembling a flowerhead. The beauty of the crinoid form is heightened by a layer of pyrite mineralization adding a luxurious gold hue. Disappearing into a complementary custom steel frame, this show stopper is ready to grace the walls of the finest space.
