Lot Highlights

Rarity and Value

This exquisite specimen features a Mediterranean seahorse (Hippocampus hippocampus), a species native to the temperate waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Known for their distinctive equine appearance and upright swimming posture, seahorses are both biologically fascinating and symbolically rich, often associated with qualities like patience and contentment. Encased in a clear glass bottle, this preserved seahorse serves as a tangible connection to the delicate marine ecosystems of the Mediterranean, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history artifacts.

Discovery and Acquisition

Seahorses inhabit sheltered areas such as seagrass beds, estuaries, coral reefs, and mangroves throughout the Mediterranean. Due to habitat degradation and other environmental pressures, their populations have been experiencing declines, leading to increased conservation efforts. This particular specimen was ethically sourced, ensuring that its collection did not contribute to the depletion of wild populations. Its preservation in a glass bottle not only protects the delicate structure of the seahorse but also allows for detailed observation and appreciation of its unique morphology.

Craftsmanship and Presentation

The seahorse is meticulously preserved within a handcrafted glass bottle, designed to showcase its intricate features from all angles. The clarity of the glass and the careful positioning of the seahorse create a captivating display, highlighting the creature’s textured exoskeleton and curled prehensile tail. The bottle is sealed to prevent environmental factors from affecting the specimen, ensuring its longevity as a display piece. This combination of natural beauty and artisanal craftsmanship results in a timeless artifact that bridges the realms of art and marine biology.

Human Touch

Beyond its visual appeal, this preserved seahorse in a glass bottle serves as a poignant reminder of the intricate and fragile nature of marine life. It embodies the human fascination with the ocean’s mysteries and the desire to preserve its wonders for future generations. As a decorative piece, it invites contemplation and appreciation of the delicate balance within marine ecosystems, inspiring a sense of connection and responsibility toward the natural world.
