{"product_id":"disque-perles-cauris-socle-24","title":"Disc of beads and cowries on a 24 cm stand","description":"\u003cp\u003eA convex 24 cm disc, entirely covered in tiny shell beads, crossed by two wide bands of white cowrie shells meeting around a central hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is a work of patience: thousands of crushed mother-of-pearl beads, sewn row by row in a spiral from the center, with a change of direction at each turn, producing this beige and white moiré effect. The two bands of cowrie shells are mounted on top, in a scale pattern, giving full relief to a surface that would otherwise be perfectly flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyle and Decoration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom afar, one sees a light bow tie on a golden background; up close, two shell scales that are completely different. This piece plays on distance better than any other in the family, making it interesting in places where people pass by and stop, such as an entryway or a hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEveryday Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e650 grams for 24 cm is surprisingly light for such a substantial object, because the disc is hollow beneath its layer of beads. Therefore, one should never lean on it or grasp it by the edge, which cannot withstand pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sewn beads form a surface that a cloth will immediately snag, and a pulled thread can unravel several centimeters of a row at once. Only a very soft brush is suitable, used by following the spiral rather than across it, and anything resembling a textile should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bazar Bizar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54461499507015,"sku":"BALE088NW","price":74.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/8000\/8263\/files\/disque-perles-cauris-socle-24.jpg?v=1785339898","url":"https:\/\/www.fenalor.com\/en\/products\/disc-of-beads-and-cowries-on-a-24-cm-stand","provider":"Fenalor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
