Blue Crab Scallop Shell on Canvas

Part sculpture, part painting. A blue crab in delft-blue chinoiserie sits inside a real scallop shell, and the whole thing is mounted on a small canvas with a hand-gilded border.

Hangs on the wall or leans on a shelf. Works alone, and works even better paired with its companion piece.

Handmade in Louisiana. Because the shell is natural, size, shape, and coloring vary. One of a kind.
