Spiritually, according to African legend, if you are attracted to cowrie shells you could be family to an ocean spirit of wealth and earth. It also represents Goddess protection which is very powerful and connected with the strength of the ocean. Throughout Africa, and South and North America, the cowrie symbolized the power of destiny and prosperity. Thought of as the mouth of Orsisas, it also is believed to have taught stories of humility and respect.

These panels are pictures of the individuals they represent, their occupations and their likes.

They also go beyond the physical first image you see to reveal and encompass history.

It is important that we recognize there is more to a person than meets the eye.
