Agatized Sea Shell
Finaly a new update after almost one year of silence.
Here we have a very nice piece and very strange!
This is an agatized sea shell (sort of - upper part) with a strange lower part:
There is one hole on the center that represents an eye,
and two noses on each side.
You can turn the piece left or right and a new profil appears.
Very interesting art !
