Turban Snail Shell*

Mike Warner translates the thick, dome-like shell of the marine turban snail into a clean brass silhouette, using concentric etched lines to trace the winding whorls. These heavy seabed mollusks depend on those dense spirals for protection against predators, a structural detail that gives the flat metal an immediate sense of depth. The warm gold finish suits the rounded form, and because this pair is very scarce, it remains a rare find among Wild Bryde's ocean designs.
