Vintage Cowrie Shell Trivet, Natural Shell Table Mat, Coastal Boho Decor

Beautiful vintage cowrie shell trivet or decorative mat made from natural shells arranged in a circular pattern. The piece features dozens of polished cowrie shells carefully threaded together to form a striking radial design. Cowrie shells have long been used in traditional decorative arts and were historically valued as symbols of prosperity and protection. This handcrafted shell mat works wonderfully as: • A trivet or heat mat for serving dishes • Coastal or beach house decor • Boho table decoration • Wall decor when displayed flat The natural variation in shell colour gives the piece a warm organic look that fits perfectly in coastal, tropical, or bohemian interiors. Measurements approx: • Diameter: ~ 16cm • Height: ~ 1cm In good vintage condition with natural variations in shell colour and minor age-related wear. Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description. All of my vintage and antique pieces show signs of age and previous use, which add to their charm and authenticity. Please expect natural patina, light surface scuff and scratch marks throughout consistent with age. I always do my best to highlight any notable details in the photos, so please check them carefully as they form part of the description. *The items may be packaged with repurposed materials.
