Product details
HORNED (HORN LIKE KNOBS) HELMET SEASHELL LARGE 26CM LONG 20CM HIGH 20CM WIDE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION
A LARGE HORNED HELMET NATURAL SHELL FOUND IN SHALLOW TROPICAL WATERS OF THE COAST OF MOZAMBIQUE. IT IS THE LARGEST OF ALL HELMET SHELLS. IT HAS A VERY SOLID, HEAVY, ROTUND SHELL WITH LARGE, HORN-LIKE KNOBS AND A WIDE, FLAT BASE. THESE HUGE SHELLS ARE GETTING RARER BY THE DAY.
SIZE 26CM LONG 20CM HIGH 20CM WIDE
CONDITION: A SCRAPE TO MOUTH EDGE THAT IS NOT EASILY NOTICED. OVERALL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION
The Horned Helmet shells are found in shallow tropical waters from the East coast of Africa through to the Indo-Pacific region. This gastropod generally lives partially submerged on the sandy bottom of the sea and hunts at night. It thrives on a diet of seastars and urchins and is one of the few species that will devour the invasive Crown of Thorn starfish providing it with protected status in the state of Queensland in Australia.
The shell is very much one of two parts: The upper outer surface being a natural cool white with a fine lace-like texture. The polished underside provides a stunning contrast in shades or apricot oranges and pinks. This twin colouration has made the helmet shell popular since the Middle Ages as the base for carving natural cameos.
Sea Shells introduce a sense of fun into any room, bringing it to life. They are tactile, quick to make friends and always have a story to tell perfect for bathrooms, studies and living spaces .
