【Ye Xing】XL Scallop Dish | Sisyphus's Stone | Philosophy | Jewelry & Crystal Dish

In Western culture, the scallop shell is a symbol of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, its radiating lines resembling rays of light converging from all directions, signifying blessings and protection. Embracing this auspicious symbolism, we use natural scallop shells as our canvas. From disinfection, cleaning, sun-drying, and polishing, to meticulously applying exclusive patterns using the decoupage technique, each piece is finished with over 9 layers of varnish, a slow process spanning multiple days. The exclusive motifs designed by Ye Xing feature Sisyphus at the center, surrounded by elements symbolizing temples, strength, beauty, and celestial bodies. These can be appreciated as purely beautiful objects, or they can inspire philosophical contemplation, drawing from Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus." They are perfect for adorning your home or serving as a dish for jewelry, crystals, and more. ☞ The slight raised edge on the front and the natural groove on the back of the shell are inherent to its form, as accurately depicted in the photos, and are not considered flaws. For those who cherish niche fashion, vintage styles, or embrace sustainable practices. – ○ Water-repellent; can be wiped clean with wet wipes. ✕ Not recommended for holding hot liquids, soups, or for microwaving. ✧ Dimensions: Approximately 11.5 cm in diameter ✧ Material: Natural seashell ✧ Origin: Original Taiwanese design, handmade – ✓ All shells undergo three stages of washing, disinfection, and high-temperature sterilization. ✓ Once dry, they are coated with white paint, puttied, and polished. ✓ Decoupage and coloring are then applied to the artwork. ✓ Finally, a specialized waterproof protective varnish is applied. – △ All products are handmade, and minor traces of craftsmanship are inevitable.
