Artist's Description
A seashell or sea shell is a hard, protective outer layer created by an animal that lives in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers.
Seashells have many practical applications. They have been used as currency in various places, including many Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean islands, also in North America, Africa and the Caribbean.
Seashells have often been used as tools, because of their strength and the variety of their shapes.
Seashells have been used as musical instruments, "wind instruments" for many hundreds if not thousands of years. Most often the shells of large sea snails are used, as trumpets, by cutting a hole in the spire of the shell or cutting off the tip of the spire altogether.
Seashells have played a part in religion and spirituality: in Christianity, the scallop shell is considered to be the symbol of Saint James the Great.
