    Shell sculpture

    The artefact

    A sculptural object of clear artistic value, it is part of a remarkable series that the artist produced inspired by the ex voto finds of the Punic tombs. Originally designed as monochromatic figures, over time they have been enriched with relief elements, polychrome glaze, pure gold and shells.
