Contrary to popular belief, shells and coral bring immense blessings to your home. They metaphorically bring the treasures of the deep to your doorstep, whether food, sunken valuables, or power from the Unconscious brought up to the surface of the Conscious.

The goddess who brings these treasures is depicted as a woman bearing a cistern on her shoulder. The late Filipino sculptor Tampinco produced a lot of these figures in the 50s.
