Large Petrified Wood Log on Base
Large Petrified Wood Log on Base
Dipterocarpus
Pliocene
Indonesia
Captivating texture is seen in this large petrified wood log displaying gorgeous neutral tones, which are characteristic of fossilized Southeast Asian wood of the Pliocene. During this time, the area was warm and swampy; trees that fell into the tannic acid-rich waters were quickly preserved, resulting in lovely neutral-toned petrified wood such as the present specimen. A custom steel base complements the fossilized wood, providing a sculpture-like presentation. This piece would add a distinctive natural focal point to any interior design scheme.
