White agate ball, spinning brass stand
PUMI2694
This agate sphere, with its unusual matte finish, features a chalky surface marked by sinuous, very graphic striations.
The undulating patterns likely result from successive deposits of silica within a rock cavity—as with many agates—but here without metallic impurities. The soft ivory hue lends this spherical form a sense of sculptural stillness.
The rotating brass stand, designed by Objet de Curiosité, recalls the armillary spheres of old—a celestial nod to a thoroughly terrestrial formation.
