This Nautilus pompilius shell is a natural object, dating back to before 1613. It was recovered from the wreck of the Dutch East India ship Witte Leeuw, which sank in 1613. The shell, on display at the Rijksmuseum, is a reminder of the historical significance of seafaring and the vast reach of the Dutch East India Company. The intricate spiral pattern and the smooth, pearly surface of the shell highlight the beauty of natural forms.
