This bubble shell is not very rare. It does not hold bright colours or extraordinary formation, its beauty lies in its simplicity. The snail has made its exit leaving behind tell-tale signs of its possession. It is smoothly rounded with a wide entry point. Green colour has been used here to show depth and slight pink shading to uplift its edges. Endeavour has been made to capture details of this thumb sized, hard, outer case enclosing the sea creature.
Two ends of the rectangular frame have been shaded in blue above and soft green below. Even around the shell, subtle colours effect has been given to haul it to prominence. The hashiya has been sprayed with grass and leaves in subdued golden.
Calligraphy is an inseparable aspect of art of that period. Abul Fazl has very rightly said about calligraphy, "the letter, a magical power, is spiritual geometry emanating from the pen of invention, a heavenly writ from the hand of fate, it contains the secret word and is the tongue of the hand".
