Thetis Bust

Sailors' Valentines prove that long before postcards or social media, brought home keepsakes with serious style. These exquisite 19th-century shell mosaics—usually crafted by Caribbean artisans rather than sailors themselves—transformed humble seashells into dazzling decorative objects celebrating love, longing, and life by the sea. This plaster bust has been hand cast and encrusted with with an exotic mosaic of shells or oceanic curiosities and is one of a kind.
