Tridacna squamosa shell carved with a human head on the apex and two incised winged sphinxes in a register on the edge of the inner side; lotus buds and flowers in the space above the sphinxes with a band of hatched or plain triangles framed by parallel lines defining the inner edge of the field; assembled from fragments; the shell served as a container for eye-cosmetics.

Phoenician, 630 BC to 580 BC

Carved and engraved shells by Cornelis Bellekin (circa 1625 - before 1711), Dutch engraver of mother-of-pearl shells and, apparently, also active as painter.

Born into a family of engravers - the founder of the family, Jeremie, having settled in Amsterdam in 1608

- he specialised in the engraving of mother-of-pearl, becoming the most distinguished artist in that field.

Hey sorry for disappearing for a week or so, I was taking a break after Finals week :)

Idk if this counts as art, but I took a shell that I found at the beach and colored it. It looks cool in my opinion so I thought it was interesting enough to show to y’all lol
