Old Necklace of traditional crafts in handmade shell and composed of elements of different shapes and sizes. In the center a pendant made from a section of shell still strengthens its symbolic meaning.

The shell – Sankha – is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Tibetan Buddhism.
Ancient ritual object of Indian origin, the white shell is usually expressed with the spiral that evolves to the right and ends in a point. Symbol of the Deity in its feminine form, of royalty and superiority, it is the representation of the deep, and victorious sound that spreads the teaching of the Dharma, reaching and being transmitted to the different natures, passions and spiritual aspirations, awakening all beings from the abyss of ignorance and suffering in order to achieve and attain liberation.
Sankha is the Sanskrit word for it, and it can be also found in the Hindu tradition.
Symbol associated with Vishnu, its sharp and prolonged sound is a sign to spread and reveal the glory of the saints.
In ancient times, it was used in India as a trumpet during battles.
This type of shell, the Turbinella Pyrum commonly called Xancus, is drawn in the Indian Ocean.
