Why You’ll Love It
A remarkable fusion of neoclassical sculpture and coastal fantasy, this one-of-a-kind IGMA Artist Pamela Goldman creation transforms the traditional portrait bust into an heirloom maritime treasure. The elegant female figure is crowned with an elaborate coiffure composed of countless real natural shells, accented by a delicate feather plume and soft blue sea-glass tones. Her sculpted bodice is formed from matching bivalve shells, complemented by a coordinating shell necklace and intricate oceanic embellishments. Resting atop an ornately detailed clay pedestal adorned with faux barnacles, shells, and real gold flourishes.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
