A find from The Hidden Bazaar
Ivory Spiral Turban Shell | Turbo sp. | 2.9 oz
$48.00
A compact ivory marine shell with a striking stepped spiral, broad rounded whorls, and finely ridged growth lines. Its sculptural profile makes it an easy accent for a natural-history shelf, coastal display, or curiosities cabinet.
Curated by The Hidden Bazaar, this specimen showcases the mathematical architecture created as a marine gastropod builds its shell. Warm cream tones, subtle surface wear, and the open underside give the piece a softly aged, organic character.
