a-side handmade | S Fringe Scallop Dish | Equestrian | Bamboo Silver Clasp Bag Charm

In Western culture, the scallop shell is a symbol of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. Its radiating lines resemble rays of light, symbolizing blessings and protection, as people gather from all directions. Embracing this auspicious meaning, natural scallops are used as the canvas. From sterilization, cleaning, sun-drying, to polishing, a-side's exclusive patterns are applied using the decoupage technique. With over 9 layers of varnish, each piece is meticulously crafted over several days. The small scallop features an equestrian motif, symbolizing a rider on the wilderness, adorned with a black fringe and a silver bamboo clasp. Carry it like a pilgrim's amulet for protection, or detach it to hold small treasures as a decorative container.
