Composition & Design:
• Centerpiece: The focal point of the design features a symmetrical, butterfly-like arrangement using various scallop and spiral shells, along with conical shells and creamy-toned polished snail shells. The symmetry gives the piece a sense of harmony and intentionality.
• Surrounding Elements: Radiating outward are six large scallop shells arranged in a hexagonal pattern, each adorned with a small spiral shell and a round, turquoise-blue accent, likely ceramic or glass, that adds a refined touch.
