Detailed Solution

Cowries and shells would have been used for making jewellery, decorating, and ritual purposes. Cowrie is the shell of a small mollusc, sometimes a sea snail, in the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans. Cowrie shells were found in a variety of ways. In the past, kids would play with them. They were used in religious ceremonies as protective amulets, clothing decorations, jewellery, hair ornaments, and even currency until the late 19th century. The cowrie shell is a popular material for jewellery and other forms of decoration due to its association with prosperity and destiny.
