A sculptural remnant of an ancient reef system, preserved in stone over millions of years. Once part of a thriving marine colony, this coral formed through the slow accumulation of calcium carbonate skeletons built by tiny coral polyps in warm, shallow seas. Over time, burial and mineralisation replaced the original organic structure, transforming it into a durable fossil while retaining its intricate natural texture.
The elongated branch form, crowned with clustered coral growth, captures both movement and stillness, a frozen fragment of prehistoric ocean life.
Dimensions: 810 × 220 × 110 mm
