Kina
Evechinus chloroticus

A common sea urchin found in sub-tidal groves of seaweed and pools and crevices of the shore where they are found with a curious mass of bristling spines.

Beneath this is the shell, the 'bumps' of which are all that remain of the spikes. These delicate shells have been strenghtened by encapsulation in antique silver, then handpolished before lacquering for permanent protection. These shells are a unique talking point and a wonderful tactile experience too.
