human history
Davui. Trumpet shell. This large davui (Charonia tritonis) has a small hole cut into the shell towards the tip end to produce sound when blown. The outer surface of the shell is crusty and brown in colour. The inner surface of the davui is pink in colour with streaks of brown emanating out at the lip of the shell. Some grime is visible on the inner surface of the shell.
