Pair of buttocks Cocco

Lot 160 - A botanical phenomenon, these nuts, carried by the sea current along the Indian coast, were highly prized by princes and kings. Rodolphe II of Habsburg, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, made an unsuccessful bid of 4,000 gold florins to obtain even one. The seed was officially presented to the French court during the reign of Louis XIV, and acquired particular renown thanks to the Duke of Praslin. He had the audacity to present these "funny buttocks" to an ageing sovereign, thus defying the influence of the false devotees who were unsuccessfully ridiculed by Molière.
