Description

Illustration of Cypraea shells set against a warm grey background, inspired by 19th-century scientific plates. Renowned for their satin-like lustre and beautifully formed shells, these specimens, which the explorer Marco Polo referred to as “porcelains”, have fascinated travellers, naturalists and collectors for centuries.

Beyond their beauty, Cypraea shells have also played a remarkable role in history. Used as a form of currency in China and across many regions of Asia and Africa, they bear witness to the importance of ancient trade routes and exchanges between civilisations.
