The segmented body is detailed with textured surface work across the carapace, contrasting with the smoother joints and limbs. The head is carefully rendered with pronounced eyes and open mandibles, while the tail curves gently beneath the body, enhancing the sense of movement.
L: Approximately 21cm
Provenance: Private collection from a British gentleman.
