The likeness in this mammoth coastal centerpiece is uncanny. Think of it as a sculptural trompe l’oeil, a work of magic that tricks the senses into its manmade wonder. To the touch, rich textures recall what would’ve been hundreds of years of sculpting in the making; to the eye, a hand-painted marbled finish replicates aging so convincing, you may think it was plucked directly from the waters. But don’t be fooled, this piece is a replica—leave the real thing in its underwater habitat.
