This *Conus vexillum* shell was recovered from the wreck of the Dutch East India ship *Witte Leeuw*, which sank in 1613. The shell, with its distinctive conical shape and mottled coloration, is a reminder of the extensive trading networks of the Dutch East India Company and the diverse natural world encountered during their voyages. The shell, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a tangible link to the past and offers a glimpse into the rich history of maritime exploration.
