Mixed Floral Snail Shell Wall Decor

This item is a decorative wall hanging that appears to be crafted from natural elements, primarily snail shells, arranged to form a mixed floral bouquet. The overall size is difficult to ascertain from the image alone, but it seems to be a medium-sized piece, likely intended for accent decor. The construction shows various types and sizes of shells, carefully assembled to represent different flowers and botanical elements. Some shells are arranged to form rose-like shapes with swirling petals in shades of earthy brown and light beige. Others are smaller, representing individual blossoms with a central stamen-like protrusion, colored in muted tones of gray, cream, and pale yellow. Several shells are used to create what appears to be foliage or leaves, exhibiting a greenish-brown hue and textured surfaces, suggesting a natural origin. One prominent shell, possibly a larger snail shell, is featured on the lower left, presenting a distinct spiral pattern and a blueish-gray interior opening. Another shell, centrally located, is arranged with its spiral facing outwards, giving it a unique floral center. The colors are predominantly natural and earthy, ranging from light creams and yellows to deeper browns, greens, and grays, with some reddish-brown accents. The craftsmanship suggests a folk art or artisanal approach, emphasizing the natural beauty and irregular textures of the shells. There are no obvious signs of significant damage or repairs, but the aged appearance of the shells and string hanging loop (visible at the top) suggests a vintage or antique quality. The item's condition appears consistent with its age, showing a natural patina. No manufacturer's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. The style leans towards classical or rustic floral arrangements, likely from the mid-20th century or earlier.
