A monumental faux giant clam shell, faithfully modeled in resin and fiberglass after Tridacna gigas, the largest species of bivalve mollusk. Measuring an impressive 40 inches wide by 24 inches deep and 16 inches high, and weighing approximately 30 pounds, this sculptural piece captures the bold, undulating form and rugged texture of a natural specimen at full scale.

Unlike newly made reproductions, this example has been naturally weathered outdoors for years, giving the surface a highly convincing, authentic patina. The exterior is rugged and calcified in appearance, while the interior retains soft, sun-bleached tones with subtle mineral-like variations, closely echoing the organic beauty of genuine clam shells.

Highly versatile, the shell may be displayed indoors or outdoors as a dramatic decorative object, planted with orchids or succulents, or even used as a striking champagne server when filled with ice. Its monumental scale and genuine weathered surface set it apart as a rare decorative find.

With authentic giant clam shells now heavily regulated by CITES, this example offers both the presence and romance of the natural form in a durable, ethical, and entirely legal alternative. See less
