Engraved Turbo Marmoratus Shell – Polynesian Tribal Design

A striking and large specimen of Turbo marmoratus, also known as the Green Turban shell, intricately engraved with traditional Polynesian tribal motifs. This piece showcases a rich, deep emerald-green exterior that contrasts beautifully with its pearlescent interior. The hand-carved patterns add cultural depth and artistic character, making this a unique decorative or collector’s item.

A remarkable fusion of natural beauty and craftsmanship from the heart of Polynesia.
