This Lambis lambis shell, a large sea snail with a distinctive spiky, wing-like shape, was found on the wreck of the Dutch East India ship Witte Leeuw, which sank in 1613. The shell, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a tangible reminder of the ship's journey and the global trade routes of the Dutch East India Company. The shell's intricate details and weathered surface, evidence of its time spent beneath the sea, offer a glimpse into the natural wonders encountered during these voyages.
