Shell Cove

Shell symbolizes a successful journey and good fortune

A golden sunset shimmers upon a languorous evening ocean tide, as gentle waves roll into a quiet and serene cove. A treasure from King Neptune's bounty is left on the sand by the hands of the waves, awash with ocean droplets glittering in the last crimson and gold rays of the sinking sun.

A mystical conch shell, ambient of the gods of the waters (such as the Roman god, Neptune; the Greek god, Poseidon; and the Hindu god, Vishnu) and associated with the moon, is detailed here with its mysterious folds, ridges and a stylised spiral. A spray of sea leaves and petite blossoms patterned with inner pineapple line work, frame the conch, upon a pillow of ocean kissed sand.

Placed to one side, is a decorative border of creeper and conch shell motifs turned on their other side, further capturing the intricacy of their convoluted lines in a stylised form. This auspicious shell has long beheld the sounds of the kingdom beneath the waves and is used in many cultures as a ceremonial horn. Shells are symbolic of a successful journey and good fortune. But spiritually, the conch symbolises creation and transience.
