This decorative goblet is hand-carved from fossiliferous limestone, likely sourced from North Africa or the Himalayan region. The stone is characterized by a high density of fossilized marine inclusions, including prehistoric orthoceratites and crinoid fragments, suspended in a warm, tan-colored sedimentary matrix. The piece features a classic tulip-shaped bowl supported by a short, flared pedestal base. The entire surface has been polished to a high-gloss finish to reveal the intricate biological textures and organic patterns of the ancient seabed.
