Original artwork description:

Small sculpture with a shell body, the Cat from the Sea is an unusual sculpture of a cat with a shell body made from the natural mother-of-pearl of a magnificent beached shell, of the turbo family.
The cat's head emerges from the shell like a genie from its lamp. It is made of wood cellulose surfine modeled, dried, painted in shades of white and brown bronze, then varnished.
This cat from the sea wears a small milky white knitted sweater with copper dots and a turtleneck, and his dark and haughty look suggests that he holds an important place in his people...

This sculpture is part of the universe of the Ostréïdes, a symbol of matter tamed by the spirit for the purpose of survival.
