Item# 0002034608
FamilyCypraeidae
NameMauritia arabica asiatica f. gibba - HUMPEDBACK MONSTER , Coen, 1949
Size75.9 mm
LocalityKoh Tao, Thailand
NoteA HUMONGOUS HUMPEDBACK. Sounds like a tautology of sorts, but appropriate with the specimen's stunning callous margins and super-thick base. Heavy, like an ingot of lead. Dense pattern. Convex base of cream/grey shades. A heavy load for the animal to carry around and blemishes all over and some nacre windows, as with the majority this size, but the largest part covered and smoothed by the animal – and far cancelled out by its imposing merits. Grade: F+/F++. Provenance: from my own collection. Collected under rock at 1-2 metres; Jan 2015; Cape Nam Tok, Koh Tao, Thailand. I WON'T BE CONTACTABLE FOR A PERIOD DURING THE AUCTION BUT REST ASSURED I WILL REPLY TO ANY MAIL BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS.
