“Matrimonial Prospects” Engraved Cowrie Shell

An early 20th century cowrie shell (novelty?) engraved “Matrimonial Prospects” and containing maybe a few too many surprises inside.

The original cork is pierced with a string which has a series of porcelain “Frozen Charlotte” dolls tied to its length.

The natural opening of the shell sealed with plaster.

2-3/4 inches long.

Wear and condition as expected with age.
