Parasite Carving of White Whale deep from the Sea

This impressive wood carving of a Humpback Whale swims above the ocean floor is carved of jempinis and parasite wood. A masterful representation by our talented carver, it will be a stunning addition to your mantel. Parasite wood comes from a parasitic plant, a mushroom-like growth that imbeds itself into the bark of a Chinaberry tree and gets its nourishment from the tree’s sap. These dense and hard growths survive long after the tree rots and decays.
