This large, Museum-quality Spinosaur tooth is completely in tact with no repairs. This incredible specimen includes a display box for preservation and display purposes. Spinosaurus (meaning "spine lizard") is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived in what now is North Africa, during the upper Albian to upper Turonian stages of the Cretaceous period, about 112 to 93.5 million years ago. This genus was known first from Egyptian remains discovered in 1912 and described by German paleontologist Ernst Stromer in 1915. The original remains were destroyed in World War II, but additional material has come to light in recent years. It is unclear whether one or two species are represented in the fossils reported in the scientific literature.*You will receive the exact object in these photos.Weight: 67 grams, Dimensions: 1.25 x 1.25 x 4.5 inches

The autumn flower of Chinese literature’s classic “Four Gentlemen,” ever bittersweet and melancholy, is the Chrysanthemum. It blossoms in the fall, blooming when all other flowers wither. This piece comes from Loretta H. Yang’s acclaimed series “Proof of Awareness,” a series that expresses through the zenith of a flower’s beauty the fragile and fleeting nature of life. Yang’s philosophies draw from Far East philosophies and Buddhist teachings. And the artwork that emerges is a deep wisdom on transience and appreciation for beauty. This collector’s edition of the original “Chrysanthemum Dance” is created by the studio in highly limited quantities.

In ancient Chinese astrology, the “vermilion bird” is the divine mythological creature that guards the southern cardinal compass direction. This bird, however, is not in fact the phoenix that is perhaps one of the most popularly represented deities in Eastern culture. The bird represents the South and has been named Ling Guang in folklore. Here the creature is dancing with flames for the fire element it represents when correlated with the Chinese five principles system of geomancy. The orb on which it is sculpted represents the heavens, with etchings of ancient star maps thereon. And representing fire, it carries the elegance and virtues of rebirth and grace. Associated with the four quadrants of the vault of heaven is the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermillion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North; in the center is the Qilin (unicorn). Each region corresponds to one of the five elements: metal (west), wood (east), water (north), fire (south), and earth (center). Moving across the night sky, the stars connect all life to the five elements. When the universe and elements are aligned, harmony ensues.

The Saber tooth tiger skull brings room for all of the exoticism the big game hunter has been afforded throughout history without having to spend time schlepping through jungles! Plus, there’s no guilt for the non-hunter with our toothy black sculpture, as it is made of metal in a black finish. We’ve added a hint of glint to this jaw-dropping decorative accent by covering the tiger’s teeth in silver leaf. Each of these decorative accessories reflects the ethos that the Phillips Collection personifies: modern organic.
