I bet you’ve never heard this love story before: the Nautilus and the Ammonite. Read George Richardson’s PalaeoPoem to get all the shell-uous details! Ink-redible art @jadeinjoggins.bsky.social !
"Beadwork on moosehide. This is a large, medallion-style beadwork of a nautilus in the water. It has a pearly white shell with matte rusty brown stripes, a brown hood over the tentacles and eye.

It is finished in a gold and black tectured border.”
