I'll look at my notes. The seashells on this building facade have some connection to religious symbolism...

And in the dark and blue light
I watched the bottle sail into the night
Carried you home, shaking like a leaf
You couldn't swim even though you lived by the sea
Seashell - Seabear
My ongoing work at the Pont-Aven School of Contemporary Art during Summer Session II. I am taking two classes 1) Extreme Drawing with Leslie Bostrom from Brown University; and 2) Advanced Painting with Stuart Diamond from MassArt.
A seashell, also known as a sea shell, or simply as a shell, is the common name for a hard, protective outer layer, a shell, or in some cases a "test", that was created by a sea creature, a marine organism. The shell is part of the body of a marine animal. In most cases a shell is an exoskeleton, usually that of an animal without a backbone, an invertebrate. Seashells are most often found on beaches.
The word seashell is most often used to mean the shells of marine mollusks, i.e. mollusk shells. It can however also be used to mean the shells of a wide variety of other marine animals from various different phyla. For helpful introductory articles, see marine invertebrates and marine biology.
As well as marine mollusks, many other kinds of sea animals have exoskeletons or even internal shells which sometimes, after death, wash up on the beach and may be picked up by beachcombers. These shells include remains from species in other invertebrate phyla, such as the moulted shells or exuviae of crabs and lobsters, the shells of barnacles, horseshoe crab shells, the tests (endoskeletons) of sea urchins, sand dollars and seastars, brachiopod shells, and the shells of marine annelid worms in the family Serpulidae, which create calcareous tubes cemented onto other surfaces.
Seashells have been admired, studied and used by humans for many different purposes throughout history and pre-history
Collecting and looking into seashells isn’t just for kids. Can you guess what type of creature is living inside?

the house is decorated with seashells and is a bit of a tourist attraction in Peñiscola. There is a pic of the windows too.
