This is a magnificent piece of shell art! It is approximately 24" tall and 9" wide at its widest point. The base is approximately 8" in diameter. It is in beautiful vintage condition. I cannot find any broken shells but there are A LOT fo them so please look at the photos very carefully as they are part of the description. This is a wonderful piece for your beach house Christmas decorations or for anyone who loves beachy decor. It would be lovely to display year round!
