The cowries are glued directly onto the stone, row by row in a decreasing pyramid, each revealing its toothed slit downwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyle and decoration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the only piece in the series where the white shell truly contrasts with the stone: everywhere else, the two materials are in the same tone. This stark contrast makes it the most decorative and least discreet version, one that embraces being a focal point rather than complementing an ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEveryday use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThirty-two centimeters and 1.86 kg, this is the format that moves from the shelf to the console or sideboard. The piece is narrow, only 10 cm, so it takes up very little depth for a lot of height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe glued cowries are the weak point: glue ages, and on a porous stone it eventually fails, usually on a shell at the edge of the pyramid. Never force them when dusting, work with a brush around and not on them, and keep the shell if it falls off, it re-glues very well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bazar Bizar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54461476077895,"sku":"BAHRA032","price":69.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/8000\/8263\/files\/sculpture-masque-sumba-gres-gris-socle-32.jpg?v=1785339771","url":"https:\/\/www.fenalor.com\/en\/products\/sumba-mask-sculpture-in-grey-sandstone-on-base-32-cm","provider":"Fenalor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
