The piece featured in the promotional image is from a meteorite that fell on Earth around 55,000 years ago. It has been certified 100% authentic by Theatrum Mundi.

The unique purse “subtly combines archeology, design, and classical and primitive art.” 

It is handcrafted by the Italian factory Semar and can take around six weeks to arrive upon ordering. As each piece is entirely handmade, they may slightly differ in shape.
