Faces on shells. That's bizarre.

not faces, touristique pictures

the best one I have is a scrimshaw shell from Tidal River ( probably made in Fiji like all the rest of them ๐Ÿ˜‚)

I do have a helmet shell tho, not carved. Even so they are quite valuable

Oh because when you said cameo that's where my mind went to. My apologies

There are many things that I find bizarre in this world but fascinating at the same time. Like octopus.

cameo is just a carving technique
