Item Description
This version of "Biota" contains two pieces, both of which are cast in porcelain. The metallic-glaze on the darker piece makes it looks like a piece of lava from another planet. Since both pieces are cast from actual sponges using a burn-out method vs. a mold, no two pieces are the same.
White sponge measures approximately 7"h x 5"w.
Grey Sponge measures approximately 3"h x 6"w.
