Description

Eight cowry shells from the Red Sea. White with black veins, they are pierced at one of the extremities. This hole suggests that these shells were included as part of part of a necklace alternating with beads, along which they were actually found . These shells are catalogued as type 83 shells by A. Vila.

Huit cauris de la mer Rouge, percés à une extrémité, d'aspect blanc veiné de noir. Le trou à leur extrémité laisse supposer que ces coquillages devaient être inclus dans un collier en alternance avec des perles. Ils ont d'ailleurs été trouvés en compagnie de perles. Ils sont répertoriés comme coquillages de type 83 par A. Vila.
