Grande Nautilus 48" x 60"

Considered a living fossil, the nautilus shell has been traced back five-hundred-million years.  It is so bold and elegant. It is truly the tiger of the sea!   

Due to the beauty of its shell, the amazing chambered nautilus is becoming endangered. According to the New York times, between 2005-2008, over a half million nautilus shells were killed and imported to the USA alone. These ancient creatures are being driven to the brink of extinction, because we like to use their shells as home decorations or jewelry.  

Sadly, nautiluses currently have very few protections and no restrictions when it comes to international trade.  There's an easy choice here: instead of buying a nautilus shell, purchase a painting of one instead!   Chances are a painting will last a lot longer and the life spared for the nautilus is far more beautiful than its mortal coiled shell.  That said, this painting will make a bold statement in any home.
