Nautilus

Description

Nautilus is a nautilus sculpture by Eric Thorsen: a nautilus with its striped, coiled shell and tentacles. It is part of his paleobiology series on ancient cephalopods.

About This Nautilus Sculpture

The nautilus is a living relative of the ancient shelled cephalopods, little changed for millions of years. Fossils show only the shell, so Thorsen’s reconstructions imagine the living animal, its body and tentacles restored around the shell as it might have looked in ancient seas. The series makes a fascinating collection for fossil lovers, museums, classrooms and anyone curious about life in deep time.

Bronze is one of the most durable materials in fine art, so a well-cared-for sculpture can be enjoyed for generations and passed down as a family heirloom.
