【YeHsing】XL Scallop Dish | Cat & Swallow Galaxy | Jewelry & Crystal Tray

The natural scallop shells are first sterilized, cleaned, sun-dried, and polished to create a pristine canvas before the decoupage technique is applied. Unlike simple transfers, this process involves layering multiple coats of clear varnish, akin to traditional Japanese lacquerware techniques. This meticulous work is carried out over several days, requiring skill, patience, and time. This piece features an exclusive pattern design: a bubbly galaxy populated by cats and swallows, suitable for enhancing your home decor or serving as a dish for trinkets and crystals. The scallop shell is a symbol of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, with its radiating lines resembling rays of light, symbolizing the convergence of people from all directions. It represents blessings and protection. By incorporating this auspicious meaning, we hope these reclaimed scallop shells bring luck and good fortune to their collectors. ☞ The groove on the back of this piece is a natural characteristic of the scallop shell and is truthfully represented in the photos; it is not considered a defect.
