This Erosaria spurca shell, dating back to before 1613, was recovered from the wreckage of the Dutch East India ship Witte Leeuw. The shell, measuring just 3 cm in height, is a testament to the trade routes and global connections of the Dutch East India Company in the early 17th century. The shell's smooth, off-white surface with delicate brown speckling showcases the beauty of natural materials and the artistry of nature. Now housed at the Rijksmuseum, the shell offers a glimpse into the history of Dutch maritime exploration and the global exchange of goods.
