Nassarius shell ball on brass stand L

The Nassarius, also called Cauris, was used until 20th century, as monney thanks to his advantages: solidity, divisibility, non-perishable, can't be copied... Possessing these shells was considered as a sign of prosperity and powerful! We find them on traditionals adornment from India, Africa, even North America, but also in Prada's collection! Exist in smaller: DA172
