Tiger Cowrie carved shell, Lovebird design, souvenir collectible seashell

Description

This listing is for a decorative collectible carved tiger Cowry shell. This one features a Love bird graphic with two birds sitting on a branch. The shell itself is about  3" long. Cowry shells have a long (sometimes dark) past including being used as currency, but the shell in this listing is just a fun souvenir and keepsake seashell.
Condition:
This shell collectible is in very nice used condition with no chips or cracks. This shell does have some fading of the color that made the text visible along with some of the detailing. This creates a feeling of a little loss of detail. You may see some gentle signs of use from a long shelf life and display! Please take a look at my photos and feel free to reach out with questions!
