Antique 19th Century Hand Painted Clam Shell

Antique 19th century hand painted clam shell

This victorian piece of folk art was hand painted and shows a idyllic scene with a shell fisherman with a scoop-net.
The back of the shell features a brass hanging system.

The clam would be the perfect piece to add to your collection, interior or cabinet of curiosities!

After more than a century the clam still remains in good condition but shows signs of wear.
Over the years it acquired a nice patina which only adds more charm to it!
Sadly the paint on the belly of the little fisherman figure got damaged.
