Marvel at the world’s largest cell with this exotic conversation piece, plucked from Creel and Gow’s cabinet of curiosities. An authentic ostrich egg has been hollowed out and lacquered to a creamy gloss that preserves the pitted surface pattern and helps to ensure that it will last much longer in your nest than it did in the ostrich’s.
