The practice of collecting sponges from the sea was practiced as an Olympic sport by the ancient Greeks. Divers were judged for speed and for the size of their sponge. The practice of sea sponge diving is actually thought to be the oldest known form of the art of underwater diving itself. This is a natural sea sponge sourced in Greece by a nice man named Manolis who harvests these from the Aegean Sea. We keep one in our outdoor shower and one in every bathtub in the house. Perfect for rinsing soap from baby's heads or mamas' backs.
4"x 4"x 4" - but really it's quite variable.
