This shell, identified as a Bursa rubeta, was recovered from the wreck of the Dutch East India ship Witte Leeuw, which sank in 1613. The shell is a reminder of the vast trade network established by the Dutch East India Company, which transported goods from Asia to Europe. The shell's delicate structure and intricate patterns are a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This piece is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
