This Meso Petrified Wood objet d'art makes a dramatic & fascinating room accent with its juxtaposition of prehistory & modernity. Petrified is the name given to a special type of fossilised remains of trees & plants & this genuine natural example, thousands of years old & quarried in Java, is sure to be a real talking point. This polished slice of history is beautifully presented on an antique black iron st&, with the age of the tree section seen through the rings & colours of this historical & unique display piece. The faces have been polished to a smooth, marble-like shine that accentuates its ancient rock heritage, while the outer rim retains the original texture of the bark. As this ornament is authentic petrified wood, some natural variations may occur. A smaller pertrified wood ornament is also available.
