Large Cowry Shell Box
Large Clam Shell Box
My Mom bought me a box similar to this long ago (but a little bit large) and I lost it. So, I was delighted to find this little shell box to offer through SilverCrow! Doesn't it remind you of summers at the shore? This is just perfect for presenting a little doo-dad or piece of jewelry to a friend. Just thread a bow through the clasp and voilà - something very special!
We love these smaller boxes because they are just right for a small pair of pearl earrings or a secret message.
These vary in size as they have been created from real clam shells, but the coloring and shape is much the same on each of them. These smaller ones measure between 1-1/2 and 2-1/2 inches at their longest.
As you can see from the photograph, there are many variations, so please let us choose one for you.

Vacation Countdown!
More Beach & the Sea
What a fun way to keep track of the number of days till vacation. Start counting a month ahead with this clever little dial at the bottom. Hang it in your office, on your cubicle wall or even on your fridge - and just turn the dial daily to count down those days till you reach the beach (or your other dream spot).
The great old time picture of a bunch of friends at the beach having a great time reads:
You think we're obnoxious now, just wait until we're on vacation!
And, with the dial (xxx) in the middle, the rest reads:
We leave in xxx days!
Of course, you'd replace that obnoxious xxx with the number of days!

Old-Timey Turtle Nodder

This fellow could hardly stay still long enough for us to measure him! So, his measurements are only approximate. We think he measures about 3-1/2 inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail from side to side (including his feet), he seems to measure 2-1/2 inches. His shell is about 1/2 inch high.
Today's kids may think of him as a "bobblehead" but we like the old-fashioned name of nodder.

Embossed Die Cut Reproduction - Young Sailors
Such young boys with dreams adrift were not uncommon in Victorian times. The sea may still be in the blood of some such lads, but it is far to easy to reach the foreign lands of dreams today. These young masters will have gone down to the sea and ships once more when you use them in your découpage and artwork.
The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is lightly embossed to accent the expert die cutting.

Little Bottle of Holy Water from the River Jordan
Plastic Mary Bottle of Lourdes Water
More Shrines & Shrine Supplies
More Jesus
There are holy water fonts at the entrances and exits of Catholic churches worldwide. It is believed that holy water is a means to spiritual wealth. It is a sacramental that will relieve those blessed with it of venial sin. Because of this blessing, many Catholics keep holy water with them in their homes to help guard the soul during disasters.
Holy water from the Jordan River is believed to be extra special because, not only does it come from the Holy Land, but Jesus was baptized with water from the Jordan.
The bottle measures about 1-7/8 inches high.

From the famed stationery company, Dennison, these classic gummed seals hail from the mid-20th century. We were fortunate enough to find some old seals, but no complete packages, so we decided to separate them. The gummed adhesive is still quite good - it is water active, but, please use a sponge or other applicator to be safe. You might even choose to use another adhesive just in case.
This set of seals features game fish including a sailfish, an Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, muskellunge, tuna and a large mouth bass.

Small Bronze Sarcophagus Box with Crocodile
More Boxes & Bags
More Egypt & Africa
Created from the design of an ancient sarcophagus, this little bronze box features an elegant crocodile atop the lid. Of course there is no mummy inside, but we think this a wonderful addition a shrine. And, it's also quite attractive on its own. It's style is that of antiquity, appearing that this might be thousands of years old. Alas, it is relatively new, having been made in the 1990s.
Although made in Egypt, the box also appears to be Mesoamerican in style as well. The images are universally ancient.
Each box is slightly different as every one has been painstakingly made by hand in the tradition of generations of metal workers. The approximate base measurement is 2-1/8 inch by 1 inch. The box depth is about 9/16 inch. The lid sits roughly on top of the be base and makes the entire box about 1 inch to 1-1/8 inch high.

Close-Up of Complete Ruler
3D Lenticular Ruler - The Great Wave
More Desk Accessories
More Lenticulars
We love lenticulars - the layered paper and plastics that create a moving 3-dimensional effect. This wonderfully useful ruler familiar image of the Great Wave by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai.
Hokusai is quite famous for his wonderful wood-cut prints of the Ukiyo-e, pictures of the floating world - everyday life. His works seems to be more popular in the West than it has ever been in his homeland.
The movement of the waves in this lenticular will keep you mesmerized - so much so that you might forget to measure whatever it was you though you needed to measure - after all, measurement is a man-made idea, not nearly as gracious as the earth that Hokusai has captured in his wave, nor as fascinating as the lenticular captured on this ruler.
Each 12-inch ruler is marked with centimeters as well as inches and it measures 2-3/16 inches wide.

We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! The simple design represents the simple sentiment so well. And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the letters with your fingers.
Such advice is generally not taken. We might stay too long, not long enough and have everywhere to go:
There is a time for departure, even when there's no certain place to go. - Tennessee Williams
The 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inch size is just what you need for a short message or a quick note of encouragement. The card is blank inside. And, of course, it is accompanied by an appropriate matching envelope.
Each card is letterpress printed with soy ink on FSC-certified, 100% post-consumer recycled paper.

Replica Pirate Doubloon - Small Silvery Coin

More Items of Pirates & the Sea
Pieces of Eight
On July 24, 1715, Spain's treasure rich New Spain fleet sailed from Havana, Cuba with a cargo valued at fourteen million pesos in silver, gold and jewels. One week into the voyage near present day Vero Beach, Florida, they were met by a furious hurricane resulting in the loss of eleven of the fleet's twelve ships and hundreds of lives.
For nearly two hundred and fifty years the sea would hold the precious cargo secret, only occasionally tossing blackened silver coin or other objects to the shores as if to taunt would-be discoverers. Not until the 1960s would these shipwrecks (scattered over a forty mile area) begin to give up their treasures.
To this day, the 1715 Fleet continues to reward those who possess the knowledge, fortitude and courage to explore the often turbulent and treacherous waters just offshore of what has consequently become know as Florida's Treasure Coast
This replica coin is an 8 Reale - or, what is cut up to become Pieces of Eight. Measuring about 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch, it looks like a smashed piece of metal. Closer inspection shows the details of the coin on either side.

We love Michael Sowa's artwork. With a bit of whimsy mixed with philosophy and thoughtfulness, he often provides us with sleepless nights - just wondering what the story behind them image might be!
From the imaginative mind of artist Michael Sowa, this implausible quartet of German Shepherds appears to be lost at see in a slight rowboat without any paddles. Just what are they doing?
Wouldn't this make a great card for a short Bon Voyage note? Or, a note for a sailor, dog lover, water baby or anyone?
Sowa's art evokes wonder and amazement; a mix of surrealism and comic illustration, of humor and seriousness.

Wind-up Performing Seal has Six Functions!

This has just got to be the coolest wind-up toy! Our little seal (named Sasha) performs six functions each time you wind her up:
1 She spins around on her tummy with the ball...2 She stands up...3 She spins the ball on her nose...4 She wags her tail...5 She flaps her flippers at two different speeds - one fast, the other slow...6 She drops back down on her tummy and starts all over again!
Little Sasha is surely quite special, so, if you're thinking of one for a gift, you might just buy two now, because you're sure to want to keep her for your self.

Mini Hand-Painted Ceramic Mermaid Bead
More Beads
Don't you just love these teensy mermaid beads. They are only 1/4 inch wide and 7/8 inch from top to bottom. The stringing hole runs from head to tailfin, too.
Mermaids, or sirens, have been signs of the human-animal connection. At once we humans are a part of the animal world and so very different from it. Mermaids give us a sense of freedom from real world troubles.
No two are painted exactly the same and fish tail color differs, as does some of the decoration. Each little mermaid holds a tiny flower in her hands, too.
We will try to honor your request for a color preference, but we cannot guarantee any particular color, so please let us choose one for you. If you order more than one and want similar coloring, please let us know and we'll try to honor that, too.

St Anthony Medal
Saint Anthony of Padua was born a wealthy nobleman, but, much to the consternation of his family, he became a poor Franciscan Friar. He was such a wonderful speaker, that it was rumored that even the fishes loved to listen to him.
St Michael's patronage is very broad, but he is best known as the patron who helps retrieve lost things. He also protects sailors, pregnant women and the poor and starving.
Our lovely medal arrives alternately with an entreaty, such as pray for us, or with an image of St Francis of Assisi on the reverse.

Wind-up Sea Otter Swims on His Back!
This is one of our wind-up favorites. We especially love wind-up swimming toys. And, this little guy is surely special. Just like his real-life counterparts, he swims on his back - with his tail! Wow, what fun! He even has a little clamshell on his tummy!
Sea otters are marine mammals native to the northern Pacific Ocean coastline. Believe it or not, some adults can weigh as much as 100 pounds! Sea otters can live and walk on land, but they seam happiest in the sea, where they feed on crustaceans and other coastline sea live. The largest of the weasel family (and one of the most charming members, too), sea otters are actually small when compared to other marine mammals. Their primary insulation (again different from other sea mammals) is their exceptionally thick fur coat - the densest of any animal!

Genuine Wampum Tube Bead
More Native American Indian Items
More Shells and the Sea
Genuine Quahog Shell
Just the word wampum conjures magical thoughts of long ago. Made from the shell of the quahog clam, wampum was used in trading and ornamentation by the Native Americans and early European traders and settlers in the Americas. The inside of the shells feature gorgeous purple and ivory or white stripings and solids. The purple stripes are indications of the growth of the shell.
Beads made from the purple shell are called suckauhock and were worth twice as much as the ivory or white beads, called wompampeage. We find it quite interesting that the species name for the quahog is the Latin mercinaria mercinaria, which is the root of the word mercenary (one who acts or works for merely reward or money).
The Narragansett Tribes in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic areas were the purveyors of the quahog shells and the beads and other adornments made from them.
We are proud to offer these special tube beads made in the traditional manner by Native Americans and non-Native Americans alike. The beads measure approximately 10mm long by 4mm in diameter and have slim stringing hole that works well with traditional and modern stringing materials.
Two beads shown for illustration only. Because the beads are made from natural shell, there will be variation, so please let us chose one for you.

In the olden days of Pirates, coins were cut into eighths to make change. Back then, the true silver Spanish Ocho (8) Reale coin would be cut into pieces to make change. Our faux silver reproduction is true to shape and imprinting (but, alas, it is not real silvers). It is cut into pieces of the Eight Reale coin: one half, one quarter and two eighths!
This makes a fun gift for anyone interested in Pirates, the conquests of the sea, or history of money!

Silvery Swallow Charm
More Birds
Of course we love flying birds, especially silvery ones, at SilverCrow. This little swallow measures about 1-7/8 inch high and 1-7/8 wide. Swallows do not have the stamina to fly very far, so they are often associated with staying close to home. Because of this, many sailors have chosen them as symbols in their tattoos.

Birth of Venus Enamel Pendant
More Pendants & Necklaces
More Italian Items
Sandro Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, the Goddess of Love rises from the sea on a shell that is now named for her. The original painting was commissioned by the powerful Medici family who asked the painter to represent Venus in the manner of the ancients. She arose on the shell and was swept to shore by flying wind-gods amongst a shower of roses.
This striking pendant measures 7/8 inch wide by 1-1/4 inch long. Made of vitreous enamel, each pendant is assembled by hand, so please allow for some variability. We have an assortment of these pendants - with different background essences. Most resemble the three colors illustrated above.
Equally beautiful as jewelry or as an art element in a shrine or assemblage, this unique piece is conservatively priced for such elegant craftsmanship.

3D Art Postcard - Hokusai Katsushika - The Great Wave
More 3D Lenticulars
We love lenticulars - the layered paper and plastics that create a moving 3-dimensional effect. This wonderfully mailable post card features the familiar image of the Great Wave by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai who lived from 1760 to 1849.
He is quite famous for his wonderful wood-cut prints of the Ukiyo-e, pictures of the floating world - everyday life. His works seems to be more popular in the West than it has ever been in his homeland.
His striking image of the sea completed in this new lenticular form is simply spectacular - the movement is amazing. In fact the sea appears to transform into mountains, another of the artists favorite subjects. Although the transformation is hard to notice online, we're sure you'll be as awed by the images in person.
Art Postcard - Die Abfahrt (The Departure)
This wonderfully moving painting by German artist Quint Buchholz shows us an unlikely trio afloat, a king, a child and a lion. We suspect the time to be dusk or dawn as their craft is lit by a small lantern. They have chosen to bring along a window as well. The seabirds may not even have noticed them. Oh, the stories you might create from this lovely image.

Close-Up of Multiple Images (Movement)
Vintage Lenticular "Winky" Hula Dancers
This is a really neat VariVue Motion Lenticular. This delightful pair of hula girls dances in black and white. It is a mint or near-mint condition vintage late 1950s / early 1960s authentic Vari-Vue of two Hawaiian hula dancers at night under a full moon.
Both dancers sway to the rhythm of the silent music. Uniquely, their entire bodies move back and forth, with arms swinging up and down and back and forth. These are truly remarkable effects that are best viewed in person, of course! This little piece is quite sturdy and measures 1-1/4 inch across by just about 1 inch. tall. A Great item!

The Grace of Wild Things Note Card
More Perseverance
More Birds of All Kinds
Nick Wroblewski is a Midwest-based printmaker specializing in hand-cut wood block prints. His images are depictions of the natural world, carved from large blocks of wood and printed one color at a time. He uses a traditional method of carving away more material as the print progresses, resulting in the eventual elimination of the textured image on the block. He is very interested in art that is hand hewn, art that shows the gesture of a landscape, and art that speaks to the dynamic energy shared between all life.
When there seems to be no hope, this message is a gentle one to be offered, along with the gorgeous print of a new dawn:
Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings while the dawn is still dark.
-Rabindranath Tagore
Each 5 by 7 inch card is letter-press printed on a textured 100% recycled paper with soy based inks, and is accompanied by an envelope for mailing.

Vintage Hand-Tied Fly Fishing Fly on Hook

We were lucky enough to find a group of vintage flies that were hand-tied and made with scrupulous attention to detail. While all are similar, colors and materials vary. What fun to add this to a fishing vacation memory box or artwork for a fishing enthusiast!
Since we are not sure what fish this would lure, we can't suggest it for a specific application other than artwork, but we're pretty sure a fly fisher might enjoy one tied to the top of a gift!

Edward Weston: Nude (Face Down on Sand), 1936
Edward Weston was a photographer before his time! His elegant photos, mostly in black and white are renowned for their simple complexity. His critics insist that he produced far too many photos and was just lucky to have a few good shots. Those good shots were surely superb. He was the inspiration for many of today's black and white photographers.
This is a classic Weston nude on a beautiful art print postcard, suitable for framing.

She arose on the shell and was swept to shore by flying wind-gods amongst a shower of roses.

More Courage
Artist Jim Brandenburg is famous for his stunning photographs that capture the beauty and magic of the natural world. He is one of the premier wildlife photographers in the world, and a dedicated environmentalist. He has won numerous international awards for his work.
Jim derives intense satisfaction from his life-long commitment to explore and understand the wilderness. Sharing his love for the natural world and telling its stories are what motivates him during his long treks in the wilderness.
The silence of the woods echoes the so thoughtful sentiment from Henry David Thoreau:
I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Shaman Smudging Supplies
More Incense
More Shells & Items of the Sea
Whether you are performing a cleansing ceremony before healing, or just because you enjoy the scent, you'll enjoy our smudging supplies. It is important to cleanse the soul and body of bad spirits, negative energies and thoughts. These traditional items are prepared in much the same manner as they have been for generations of Native Americans. The herbs are quite aromatic, even if just displayed and never burned. Smudging involves taking the smoke in to your hands and brush or rub it over your body.
Our sage and cedar bundle measures between 6 and 8 inches long and is tightly woven (ties may differ). This is just the right size for personal use or for use in a sweat lodge.
Although not necessary for cleansing or ceremonies, a traditional smudge burner is the natural abalone shell. The hand-carved stand is just right for a wonderful way to display your smudge, but we can imagine the shell and stand the perfect base for many natural room accents.
Our combination smudge stick brings together the cleansing characteristics of sage and the connection to our ancestors represented by cedar.
Add our Smudging and Blessings Book and save!
Never leave smudge (sweetgrass or other) burning unattended and please use caution.

Natural Quahog half-Shells (Wampum)
Most often associated with Rhode Island, the quahog bi-valve clam is used for food as well as to make jewelry. At one time, wampum beads (fashioned from the purplish-cream inside of the shell) were used in trade between the settlers and the natives in North America.
These elegant shells are beautiful as is, giving a special touch to any shell collection. But they also shine as display dishes for pearls and jewelry, smaller shells and beads.
Native American Indian wampum was colored both purple and off-white, but the largest association is with the purple shells. All of our half-shells have some purple and the exterior is left rough, as found in nature.
As far as we know, the quahog shells offered to you by SilverCrow are the bi-product of someone's dinner. The hand-dug clams were eaten, and, rather than waste the shells, we have purchased the most elegant ones.
