Mosaic Ostrich Eggshell

In Philadelphia’s underground subway, you’ll see impressive mosaic art and Ostrich & Leather Trading brings this extraordinary form of art right into your home, studio or office with the Mosaic Ostrich Eggshell.

Mosaics have a long history, starting in Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BC and are still popular today. This form of art is created by the assembly of many small multicolored pieces of materials like stone, glass, ceramics, or other materials and pasted onto a base. Collectively these materials are combined to form an image or pattern and Ostrich & Leather Trading took this art one step further by taking tiny pieces of genuine ostrich eggshell and pasting it onto an eggshell which results in two ostrich eggshells being combined into one. One is a broken shell, that’s been used as mosaic and pasted onto the base, being the second ostrich egg.

Each piece of mosaic is pasted by hand onto the ostrich eggshell, making each completed shell unique. After the completion of the mosaic art, the design is hand painted on the ostrich eggshell.

Ostrich & Leather Trading also caters for customers’ individual tastes and, if supplied with a picture (within reason), we can hand paint such image onto the eggshell.
