Paper Fig Shell - Ficus ficus

Paper Fig Shell (Ficus ficus)
An incredibly delicate, paper-thin shell shaped elegantly like a fresh fig or pear. It showcases an intricate, fine net-like mesh pattern across its exterior, coloured in soft pastel shades of pinkish-tan with a polished lavender-to-apricot interior opening.

Each shell comes complete with an identification label.

Average size 5 - 7 cm

These shells are vintage shop stock from a coastal gift shop that closed in the 1980s. They have been stored for decades and are not recent imports.

Each shell is a unique natural specimen, lightly conditioned to highlight its rich, authentic colours and surface patterns. Rather than photographed individually, we will carefully select a shell for you from the chosen size range, ensuring excellent colour and overall quality.
