Summary
A small elliptical blue/grey Cowrie shell, with a pale convex base, and well defined teeth either side of the aperture. The canals at each end have two eyelike brown marks. The base blue/grey colour has a band of a handful of brown marks, with much stronger brown spots either side of the aperture. There is no indication of where this was discovered.
