【YeXing】XXL Scallop Tray | Olive Branch & Dove | Business Card Holder, Jewelry Dish, Mineral Tray

The olive branch motif is inspired by the story of Noah's Ark in Genesis. The dove returning with an olive branch signifies the receding floodwaters and the resurgence of life on Earth, symbolizing peace and hope. This is currently the largest scallop shell available in our collection, making it a suitable display piece or a tray for business cards, jewelry, or precious stones (comes with a round box). For those who love niche fashion, vintage styles, or support sustainable practices. In Western traditions, the scallop shell is a symbol of the Camino de Santiago. Its radiating lines, much like rays of light, represent the convergence of people from all directions, symbolizing blessings and protection. In Eastern traditions, during Japan's Edo period, clam shells were adorned with *maki-e* (lacquer decoration) and gold leaf on the inside. Beautiful shell containers and shells were part of the dowry for the wives of court nobles and feudal lords, symbolizing blessings for marital harmony. Using natural scallop shells as the medium, each shell is disinfected, cleaned, sun-dried, and polished. Decoupage techniques are used to apply unique patterns, finished with over 9 layers of varnish applied slowly over several days. – ○ Water-resistant; can be wiped clean with wet wipes. ✕ Not recommended for serving soups, wet foods, or for heating. ✧ Dimensions: Approximately 13.5 cm in diameter ✧ Material: Natural seashell ✧ Origin: Taiwan Original Design, Handmade – △ All products are handmade, and minor imperfections inherent to the crafting process may be present, such as small fibers or natural cracks.
