Item Description
An antique giant clam shell, reclaimed from a garden and previously used as a fountain. Also known by its Latin name Tridacna gigas, this clam is of a large scale. It could be used externally, perhaps as a water feature, or internally as a basin in a home. Alternatively, it would look stunning on display due to its impressive appearance.
Tridacna gigas
Tridacna gigas is a very decorative giant clam shell with a well-defined shape and good colour. Giant clams inhabit the oceans of the Pacific and Indian Oceans and have a lifespan of over 100 years. The layers, built up over the course of many years make the shells very heavy and difficult to date precisely.
