✨ MORE ABOUT THIS PIECE

These beautifully polished shells are actually the protective homes of marine snails. While alive, a cowrie extends its soft mantle over its shell, helping maintain the smooth, glossy surface that makes these ocean treasures so recognizable. Depending on the species, they graze on algae, sponges, and other marine organisms, contributing to the intricate balance of life beneath the waves.
