Elephant Bird Egg - Incredible Museum Specimen - Egg...

This beautiful egg of the Aepyornis, a gigantic bird now extinct, has been reconstructed thanks to the skill of collectors and restorers, to give us the opportunity to experience the emotion of holding in our hands an object from another time, something that cannot be created in nature today. Covered with sediments to show the state in which a natural treasure is found, with a large portion of the shell visible. Fascinating and rare piece for any collection. A object of great value to preserve and proudly display in our Wunderkammer. The Aepyornis went extinct in the seventeenth century, due to human interference on the island where it diversified and gigantized, Madagascar, surviving for millennia in a protected environment.
