Halmahera tridacna arm bangles and a signal trumpet

Just for sharing, a few antique arm bangles made from tridacna and a snail shell signal trumpet. All collected on Halmahera around 20 years back.

Very nice Sajen.
I have always like shell trumpets since I was young.
I have a similar Triton shell with the hole at the very end. I signaled the coming of the New Year a few nights ago with it.

:D:D When all people would welcome the New Year with a triton trumpet our pets wouldn't be afraid anymore! ;)

Very nice!

As a trumpet, I usually think of Arjuna hesitating to blow his shell trumpet to start the war in the Bhagavad Gita.
