The shells were often few and far between on this popular beach. Well worn pieces seemed to be the only thing to find.
Mauritanian Conus Shells beads:
The women of Mauritania; Tuareg, Moorish, etc. weave these decorative shells into their hair and clothing and for many years, have incorporated them into their traditional necklaces and jewelry.
Conus Shell Beads:
Originally a magical possession of the medicine man, the Conus shell acquired monetary value as it traveled from East Africa. It was introduced in Western Africa in the 16th century.
The beads were cut from the crest of the conical shells and then polished smooth, creating a spiral disc. Ornaments made from Conus were also believed to act as powerful charms, amulet and talisman found in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, DRC, Mali and Burkina Faso, etc. They also indicated the high status and wealth of their owners. All beads are in the collection of MBAD/ABA African Bead Museum.
There are millions - as I mentioned in an earlier post - that beach has not a single pebble on it - all cockle shells!
