Conch Shell Bangles

In Bengal, conch shell crafts are very old and famous. Various images and designs are engraved on these and they are cut out in different shapes and forms for making home decor items and jewellery pieces. In Bengali tradition, conch shell bangles or shakha are worn during Bengali weddings mostly by married women.

This is an antique, fifty year old shakha/conch shell bangle with silver work on it.
