Antique Victorian cowrie shell box with a mother of pearl lid. The box can also be hung as a pendant. The word porcelain derives from the Italian word for cowrie shell, porcellana, because of the material's resemblance to the smooth, shiny, almost translucent surface of the shell. The cowrie shell is a yonic symbol that represents fertility, feminine powers, healing, magic, and good luck.
