THE CONVERSATION PIECE
There are actually so many different genres that
you can find in the Cambanos store, so once you
have decided on the look-and-feel for your home
or your special African-themed room, you can tell
their very helpful staff and they will be able to point
you in the right direction.
If, on the other hand, your décor is pretty much sorted,
and all you need is an intriguing conversation piece to
complete a room, they have those, too.
This is an ammonite fossil, (above). They became
extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period,
at roughly the same time that the dinosaurs
disappeared. Ammonites were closely related to the
octopus, squid and cuttlefish and they get their name
from the Egyptian god, Ammon, who was frequently
depicted wearing rams’ horns. Although it’s difficult
to gauge the size from a photo, this specimen
found in the Cambanos showroom is roughly the
size of a small coffee table.
They also have a fabulous selection of painted
ostrich eggs, some of which are mounted and
others that can be bought separately. These, by
the way, also make great corporate gifts if you
ever have a requirement for something different
and appealing to give to clients or the delegates of
a top level conference/workshop.
