Mechanical Orthoceras Nautilus Hybrid Sculpture
This one‑of‑a‑kind biomechanical sculpture reimagines a mythical hybrid of ancient Orthoceras Nautilus cephalopods.
The long tapered shell is hand‑formed from resin, painted with iconic red stripe detailing. The head features an exposed intricate mechanical assembly: articulated metal tentacles, visible wiring, gears, pneumatic‑style components and glowing‑style optical eye. It sits on a heavy custom metal‑and‑wood display base with detailed hydraulic‑like fittings, fully built for tabletop exhibition.
