Sorento Shell Wreath

The Circle of Life. As if an ancient, shell-encrusted crown had washed ashore along the Italian coast, this exceptionally realistic indoor/outdoor Sorento Shell Wreath is artisan crafted at an American manufactory, established in 1911 by an immigrant from Lucca, Italy. Ready to hang on a wall, it also makes an unexpectedly enchanting centerpiece. Fiberstone with fiberglass backing. Handcrafted in the U.S.A.  16"l. x 15"w. x 7"d.
