Lobster Luxe – Pharaoh’s Treasure by Marianne Ottemann - OTTI

Lobster Luxe – Pharaoh’s Treasure is a richly decorated work of art in which the lobster has been transformed into an Egyptian piece of jewellery brimming with symbolism, colour and power. The deep lapis blue and turquoise surfaces are reminiscent of gemstones, mosaics and ancient funerary art, whilst the golden lines and details evoke the wealth of ancient Egypt.

The scarab takes centre stage on the armour: a powerful Egyptian symbol of rebirth, protection and transformation. The claws feature references to the Eye of Horus and subtle Ankh symbols. The Eye of Horus represents protection, insight and royal power, whilst the Ankh — the symbol of life in ancient Egypt — refers to life, vitality and eternity. Together, these symbols give the lobster the aura of a protective amulet: a powerful object that signifies protection, rebirth and eternal life.

The tail incorporates a stylised reference to Tutankhamun, in the form of a small golden amulet or royal figurine. This gives the crab the appearance of a sacred object: half sea creature, half Egyptian talisman. The design evokes the atmosphere of pharaohs, temples, pyramids, sphinxes and hidden treasure chambers, with shimmering accents reminiscent of gold, lapis lazuli and turquoise.

The symmetrical composition, gemstone-like patterns and rich ornamentation make this piece a striking centrepiece within the Lobster Luxe series. This artwork fits beautifully into an interior with boldness, luxury and character. Perfect for a stylish living room, hallway, dining room, boutique hotel, restaurant or interior where art, travel and worldly influences come together.
