This is an Erosaria spurca shell, a type of cowrie shell found on the wreck of the Dutch East India ship Witte Leeuw. The ship sank in 1613, making this shell over 400 years old. It is a small shell, measuring just 2.4 cm in width, and is decorated with a distinctive pattern of brown spots. The shell is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and offers a glimpse into the history of trade and exploration in the Dutch Golden Age.
