Cameo Shell
£14.95
Description
Cameo or Bullmouth Helmet Shells have always been popular as decorative items and have also been used in the jewellery trade for over a thousand years for cameo carvings.
The most popular motif carved is that of a woman’s face.
Decorated with a twisted brown patterning that flows through to an aperture of striking zebra like
stripes, they belong to the helmet family of shells.
Common to the Indo-Pacific they are found in shallow tropical seas on sand, where they enjoy
feeding on sea urchins.
Size: approx 10-12 cm long (4-5 inches)
