There are quite some spectacular “Rembrandt shells” in the Philippines, but this is a great aesthetic piece with the big flecks set in a particularly pleasing way: they converge in a central line on the back! Lip smoothed. HYPOTYPE in the twin books: 1000 Shells, exceptionals from the Philippines.
Philippines. Zamboanga. 10-25 m. 2012.
