This print showcases a pair of Turban shells (Turbo argyrostoma) against a striking black background. These unique gastropods, found in shallow waters across the Indo-Pacific region, derive their name from the uncanny resemblance they bear to the Sikh headdress.

The Turban shell's presence contributes to biodiversity by providing habitats for various other organisms. Displayed here is a remarkable duo that exemplifies both elegance and resilience in nature.
