Description of the Drawing
Translated by AI: This shell was inspired by a very well-known species of scallop: the pilgrim's scallop. The braille drawing shows the outer surface of a shell. Together with its counterpart, it forms the shell of a scallop. The shell is fan-shaped and tapers at the whorl (exactly in the centre of the braille drawing below). From there, four lines fan out upwards, following the shape of the fan. These lines suggest the undulating surface. The shell is further developed on either side of the whorl. These shell extensions are the ears of the shell.
