Lot 84 | A LARGE DRONINO METEORITE
Estimate value
£ 10 000 – 15 000
The highly crenelated signature surface texture of Dronino is seen throughout; the result of a centuries-long interaction of this meteorite’s unique composition with the soil and groundwater. This intriguing extraterrestrial scultpture has the appearance of an asteroid pocketed with impact craters. With a platinum-hued patina, this is a decorative example of a singularly exotic meteorite. Accompanied by a custom armature.
14 x 111/4 x 43/4in. (36.5 x 28.5 x 12.5cm.)
