Carried by waves and currents across the tides, this cowrie was found amongst the flotsam and jetsam of a Cornish beach on a crisp, spring day.
Although small in form, this type of shell is of huge importance to many African cultures as well as shell seekers. Its gentle curves have drawn parallels with the feminine form and the cowrie has been considered a symbol of fertility and prosperity from ancient times to modern day. Used in rituals as protective amulets, the cowrie was thought to safeguards the wearer’s spirit and ward off negative energies.
