Conch Shell Set in Silver

Cleveland Museum of Art

Silver conch shell set in a decorative silver case. The case is rectangular with a curved top edge and features intricate designs, including a dragon-like creature and floral patterns. The case is adorned with small turquoise stones along its edges. A small loop is attached to the left side of the case. The conch shell is white with etched lines and protrudes from the right side of the case. The background is dark at the top and lightens towards the bottom. The overall design and craftsmanship suggest an Asian, likely Tibetan or Nepalese, origin. The piece is titled "Conch Shell Set in Silver".
