Description

On sand banks by sea cucumber divers,  2~3m deep at night during low tide Dec 2017. On the shoulder slightly worn due to age of this gerontic specimen. Perfect lip. Only a microscopic nick on the proto for the discerning collector. But among the glut of victors selling in the market, these are top of the range.
