A super nice sterling silver coated Mario Buccellati "Welk" seashell. A very interesting conversation piece and extremely collectible. Shells like these sell on 1stdibs and high end auction houses for thousands of dollars. Measures a little over 8" long, a large size for a Welk . A small issue of a "break or tear" on one end as pictured that isn't overly noticeable. Pictures should tell you all you need to know.
