Description from the seller

Charonia tritonis, whose common name is Triton's trumpet or giant triton, is a marine mollusk belonging to the class of gastropods. It can reach up to 60 cm in length, and is therefore one of the largest mollusks living on the coral reef.

The shell is traditionally used as a trumpet by cutting off its apical tip.
