{"product_id":"tete-sumba-couronne-cauris-gres-blanc-11","title":"Sumba head with cowrie shell crown in white sandstone 11 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn 11 cm cubic head in white sandstone, crowned with a cluster of shells placed flat on top, and whose face has fan-engraved cheeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and manufacturing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo details distinguish this piece from the rest of the series. The shells do not descend on the sides but remain grouped on top, like laid hair; and the cheeks are incised with radiating lines starting from the nose, the only engraved decoration on a face in the whole family. The eyes are simple, very clean drilled circles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyle and decoration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sandstone here is frankly white, not blond, and the piece is therefore the lightest of the selection: it disappears on a white wall and only takes on relief against a dark background or dark wood. This is a much stronger placement constraint than with blond sandstones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDaily use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shells on top extend about two centimeters beyond the cube: the useful height to allow for is therefore greater than that of the stone, which is important under a low shelf or in a display case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe engraved lines of the cheeks are fine and all converge towards the nose, where dust accumulates at a single, highly visible point on white stone. A brush swept in a fan shape from the nose outwards, in the direction of the lines, solves the issue; sweeping against the grain only fills the grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bazar Bizar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54462073438535,"sku":"BAHRA037","price":37.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/8000\/8263\/files\/tete-sumba-couronne-cauris-gres-blanc-11.jpg?v=1785342463","url":"https:\/\/www.fenalor.com\/en\/products\/sumba-head-with-cowrie-shell-crown-in-white-sandstone-11-cm","provider":"Fenalor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
