Octopi are highly intelligent creatures, often learning through explorative play, and they can use their tentacles independently to taste and touch. So, whatever you place in this nautilus shell dish, the octopus just might be a little curious about! Dont worry though, this octopus is just for show. Creatively crafted in cold cast bronze, a process of mixing bronze powder with resin, give the piece an authentic metal look with a smooth polished and highly detailed textured finish. This octopus dish can hold just about anything almost anywhere, and is great as a gift sure to excite any myth, legend and lore lover. Oh! and those that love the octopus, too, of course!
