ANTIQUE #SA1120629

Antique Coco De Mer Seed Pod

£1,450    $1,964    €1,708
The coco de mer palm produces the largest seed in the plant kingdom. The palm is found in only two of the 115 islands in the Seychelles archipelago in the Indian Ocean. It is known as an endemic species. The empty seed pods were discovered floating in the sea by seafarers. They had been swept away on tidal currents. Similarity to the female form made the fruits highly collectable.
 
A fine and large example, wonderfully tactile.
