Interesting materials, designs, and textures are sought out elements in interior design. This unique piece incorporates them all and adds a little history to the story as well. The fish sculpture is entirely made using petrified wood. Petrified wood is a natural occurrence when wood is fossilized. The wood turns to stone over millenniums because it is deprived of oxygen which causes all deteriorating to stop and the minerals to slowly be absorbed. It is an amazing natural process that results in each piece being unique making the authentic charm of the petrified wood part of the design. The natural specimens used in the Petrified Fish are found in Indonesia and hand crafted into many different items from sculpture to jewelry. No mechanical means are used in the creation of the Petrified Fish, the artisans use hand tools and polishing cloths to rub the finished piece to a perfect sheen. Each piece is really a piece of art, bringing nature and warmth to your space while being easily placeable in a variety of design settings. The placement of the Petrified Fish is only limited to your imagination and how you use it.
