| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Notocypraea piperita - EXCEPTIONAL GIANT , Gray, 1825 |
| Size | 29.5 mm |

| Note | At virtually 30 mm, this exceptional GIANT ranks amongst the FINEST piperita I have ever brought to auction. Markedly elongate form, enhancing its monumental presence. Exceedingly rare quality – PERFECTION. Rich and beautiful autumnal palette, with creamy apricot ventrum. Thick, resplendent gloss. Such specimens are highly prized by Australian collectors, and the majority of the known comparable examples are tightly held within important Australian collections. A rare opportunity for the advanced Cypraeidae connoisseur. Data: Port Phillip Bay, off Crib Point, Mornington, Victoria, Australia; upon silt-covered reef substrate, in sponge, at night; 10-12 m; dived; 2023. Size: 29.5 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
