A sight to hold in hand, especially with the multi-brown colored and heavily glazed basically black base framed by spots imbedded in the light tan margins. Super shape/symmetry with notable inflation with significant rostration present on both extremities.

Original data slip from Callum included. The shell is flawless. Grade: GEM. |
