Inscapes Gallery - Scallop Graphite Sculpture

Scallop Graphite Sculpture $14.95

Scallops are marine bivalve molluscs in the family Pectinidae. They are a cosmopolitan family, found in all of the world's oceans. Some scallops can swim, by rapidly opening and closing thier shell. This method of locomotion is also a defense technique, protecting it from threatening predators. There can sometimes be an audible soft popping sound that some scallops make as they flap their shells underwater, and because of this, one kind was dubbed "singing scallops" by a seafood vendor. This wonderful graphite sculpture is a work of art as well as a playful writing instrument. Made from composites and pure graphite this sculpture can be used to write or draw on multiple mediums or collected and displayed as an art piece. Measures 3" by 2"
